Love tesla as a car too"Brave" to try a driver from random source.
But thnx to do so
and don't afraid. Of couse I tried it in my test server on vlan.I am planning to move my VMs from Esxi to Proxmox to utilize the P4, so some kind risk is worth to take at testing stage to know the enemy.
Nice glad it works!
I have not dug into the script, but I suspect there is something in the vgpu discord, but I have not had the time to figure it out on my own. If you find one please let me know.
I found the solution here - KrutavShah / vGPU_LicenseBypass - Linux bypass. However the method only works up to Nividia's vGPU version 14.1(510.73.06) ,later version is no go.
1.Use the command to make the driver run for 24 hours.
Code:
echo 'options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="UnlicensedUnrestrictedStateTimeout=0x5A0;UnlicensedRestricted1StateTimeout=0x5A0"' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
reboot2. Reload the driver by adding a job in /etc/crontab with the below code or reboot Ubuntu VM in proxmox everyday.
Code:
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/pci_id_of_vgpu/rescan

Ok... this is the thread that I've desperately been seeking.
Question for the people infinitely more knowledgeable than myself. I have a small form factor PC (i3-10105 with integrated graphics and running Windows 10) that I'm using primarily as a Blue Iris server. However I'd like to occasionally use it for gaming and I'd also like to use a low profile GPU to hardware accelerate my Blue Iris. Would the Tesla P4 be a good sub $100 value proposition to help accomplish these goals? As an aside, I know absolutely nothing about virtualization, but I enjoy tinkering, so I'm not sure to what degree that would be necessary, but I'm willing to learn.

Yes in the vGPU Portal after signing up for the trial.
Virtual GPU (vGPU) Software Free 90Days Trial | NVIDIA
Licensces are explained here: Virtual-GPU-Packaging-and-Licensing-Guide.pdf (nvidia.com)
However they won't sell you the licenses, as its only B2B.
As noone wants to sell me licenses I signup for trial every 90 days.

If you install NVIDIA vGPU drivers yes.
or
you may try this: 2 Gamers 1 GPU with Hyper V GPU-P (GPU Partitioning finally made possible with HyperV) - Hardware / GPU - Level1Techs Forums
You can do so, it works fine. If you‘re willing to apply for a new trial account every 90 days, able to purchase a license or happy with an older driver that allows to extend downscaling/restrictions to 24h instead of 15 minutes.
Wait. In Promox, you don't need any trial account to get vGPU to work properly. It's ESXi that you have to deal with the 90-day trial account.
Well, even if you're going the vgpu-unlock route, you'll need to download the GRID host drivers. These are locked away in the customer portal, for which you need an account.
You can try to find a reputable website where a recent version of the driver is shared, but ymmv.
Thats not correct. Thats completely unrelated to proxmox. You are required to license every guest system. You need the host drivers as well. There is no way around execpt the ways I mentioned.
Getting the drivers isnt an issue.
