IIRC oVirt 4.3 should have the basic hooks in place for mdev passthrough. For nvidia this mean you need the vgpu drivers and a license server. These licenses have a recurring cost. AMD's solution uses SR-IOV, and requires a custom kernel module that is not well tested YMMV. You can also passthrough entire cards in ovirt without any drivers, granted since the amount of GPU's you can stuff into a server is limited this is probably not ideal. Nvidia blocks this on consumer level cards. Intel also has a mdev solution that is built into mesa / the kernel already, we have used it with VCA cards in the past, but perhaps the new Intel GPU's support it as well? Intel is the only option that will allow you to feed the framebuffer data back into spice so you can use the ovirt console. All other options require you to create a remote session to the guest directly. On 2021-01-25 07:49, kim.kargaard@noroff.no wrote:
Hi,
We are looking at getting some GPU's for our servers and to use vGPU passthrough so that our students can do some video renders on the VM's. Does anyone have good experience with the Nvidia Quadro RTX6000 or RTX8000 and ovirt 4.3?
Thanks.
