It's the KVM driver I am talking about. You have a machine running Ubuntu, you can get a driver so that your Ubuntu machine recognizes the GPU. That's great. What I want is to install KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) to turn the Ubuntu machine into a hypervisor host. That way, I can run a...

To share a single GPU among multiple VMs, we'll need a host driver and a guest driver. The host driver is impossible to find. For example, a Linux host driver is gim-dkms_1.0.0.1234577_all It's impossible to get that driver unless you are a cloud provider or something along that line.

I can help but I have no idea how to do it. I have an Apple store near me. Is it as simple as me picking it up and dropping it off at a UPS store?

Impressive built. I had a bad experience with water cooling years back and never really tried it again. I was on vacation and the pump failed so the server shut down. I had my share of cooling fan failures and the CPU throttle but it never shut down. The high flow in server cases is enough...

Do you have an MB to go with this as a combo (H12)?

My guess is around ~$4000-$4500. 2TB of RAM is above my wildest dream. That price range opens a lot of options for a system with 256G or 512G RAM.

SuperMicro x10DRG-Q is an interesting board. What case can support that beast?

You can get a dual E5v4 CPU setup with that budget all-inclusive. here's an example: - Dual 2650 V4 Intel Xeon CPUs -128GB 2400T ECC Registered DDR4 2400Mhz RAM -HBA 330 Controller - 2 x Dell 3.5" hard drive caddies -ALL 3 PCIe Expansion Risers included- Risers 1,2 and 3. -X520/I350...

I agree. For a general-purpose home lab, I don't think I need more power than a dual 2690v4 setup anytime soon (for the next 5 years at least). All I am running on this machine is a NAS, a few Windows VMs (5), Ubuntu VMs (2). The encoding job is on a VM with a GPU so CPU usage is minimized...

Where did you get that price? I bought 2x2690v4 a week ago for $58 in total. Wouldn't mind getting another pair at the price you quoted. Thanks

I got it working. Thank you. Here's my observation. At the end of the day, I like the approach that Promox did, with vGPU unlock, much better. In ESXi (and the license server), I have to split the GPU into equal (already defined) chunks. I can't have a VM with 2 Gig GPU memory and another...

Did you do that under ESXi?

I did and didn't see any detail. I checked out the #licensing and #esxi_xen_status There's a lot more info with promox host. Not much on esxi beside the github instruction.

I am not in IT so I am very green when it comes to non-standard setup like this. If you can get a P40 simulated license server to work, please export the license server VM and put it on google drive or something so I can give it a try or document step by step better than what the github has...

M10 is a little too old. Is there an equivalent M10 that's at least Pascal with multiple GPU on a single card so I can directly pass through each GPU onto a VM? Thanks
