Yes I have a BusID inside the xorg.conf.
I just tested with virt-manager and indeed it is not a ovirt failure.
It is something to do with qemu-kvm + nvidia.
I found here:https://wiki.debian.org/VGAPassthrough that nvidia disables
device when it is running on qemu-kvm is it still the case? to overcome
that one need to set:
-cpu host,kvm=off
in the command line of qemu.
This applies to GPUs that NVIDIA does not support in virtualized
environments (actually your GTX630). Quadro K2200 and higher
(incl. grid, tesla) should not require masking the hypervisor. It
could be worth to supply dmesg from the host and from the guest so we
could see if there is any apparent failure.
That being said, I have had failures even with supported card that
just stopped at one point. It's worth trying the kvm=off trick.
I was trying to convert virsh commands to qemu native, but it fails on
Centos 7 :(
virsh dumpxml > render.xml
virsh domxml-to-native qemu-argv render.xml
error: internal error: invalid PCI passthrough type 'default'
I usually take the qemu command line from
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/${VM_NAME}, tweak it in vim and launch. Works
even for oVirt VMs (if you can hack around the storage).

I just testing several GPUs with pci-passthrough: GTX630, Tesla 2050 and
FX5800.
None of them I got running with opengl/direct rendering inside the
virtual machine.
I was thinking something to do with qxl driver, but after blacklisting
it in the VMs kernel nothing was changed.
The VMs Xorg claiming always no display found even if I configure it
with headless option: nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None
--virtual=1280x1024
But with nvidia-smi I can see the GPU status, and I can run all cuda
tests where opengl/X11 is not involved.
My test system is CentOS 7 with ovirt 4.
BTW If I clone VM which was not running, to real host on bare metal,
everything is running as expecting.
Don't remember If this was mentioned but have you tried doing the same
thing but with virt-manager on a standalone host, just to rule out oVirt
from the equation?
Also, the xorg must be setup to use the VFIO GPU. There is BusID
option in device section that must point to the guest address of the
GPU. I'm not sure if you've done that (and I'm quite sure it's missing
on the wiki, noted).
[in the guest]
$ lspci | grep VGA
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GL [Quadro
K2200] (rev a2)
and using the address, add device section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
EndSection
That should allow xorg to use the assigned GPU.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Is it possible to disable qxl video?
Hi,
I am doing PCI Passthrough for GPUs.
Is it possible somehow to disable/remove default video qxl?
thanks,
Arman,.
Hi,
The 4.0 Vdsm allows you to run a headless VM, meaning a VM without
graphic device/frontend.
Not sure Engine allows you that however.
no it doesn’t
Even if engine allowed that, it may not be the correct solution.
Running headless with PCI passthrough is considered primary VGA
passthrough[1]. Using primary VGA passthrough without OVMF could cause
(will cause) quite a bit of headaches.
If you really want to try that, I assume using before_vm_start hook to
remove the video device should be enough.
[1] http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough - it's
possible to read about primary and secondary passthrough between the
lines
However, if QXL is the problem (why is that so?) then you can switch to
VGA(or CIRRUS if this is still 3.6)
I'm afraid you will need to write a Vdsm hook.
There could be simpler solutions depending on the Engine
Bests,
