VM Client Configuration for NVIDIA GPUs

Edit the VM settings to add and configure the NVIDIA Quadro P400 cards:

1. Select Actions→Edit Settings→Virtual Hardware→Add other device.
2. Select New PCI device as many times as there are cards to add. 
   

   

   
   
3. Set the new PCI Devices to match the Quadro P400 cards selected under Enabling Hardware Pass-through on the Host.
   

   

4. Click Save.
5. Be sure to check the "Reserve all guest memory" checkbox.
   

   

   
   
6. Select Configuration Parameters and then +Add Parameter.
7. Add the following parameters (as shown in the following examples):
   • pciHole.start = "2048"  (Note: This only applies for VMs that have more than 2GB of configured memory.)
     

     

     
     

   • hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" 
     

     

     
     

   • svga.vgaonly = "TRUE"


     

     

     Note

     Adding svga.vgaonly = "TRUE" as a configuration parameter improves stability for Kraken instances with GPU passthrough enabled.

8. Click OK, and then Save.
