Hi,
I`ve readed a lot of material about that since yesterday.
My scenario is the following:
- Server: HP ProLiant ML350 Gen9
- Graphic card:NVIDIA Quadro M5000
- vSphere version:5.1.0 build 2323236
Downloaded this driver from NVIDIA download center:
- NVD.NVIDIA_bootbank_NVIDIA-VMware_304.76-1OEM.510.0.0.802205-999851.zip
And installed this way:
- Enter maintenance mode
- Uncompressed the zip file and uploaded the vib file to the ESXi host.
- Accessed the server using SSH and ran this command:
esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/L20/NVIDIA-VMware-304.76-1OEM.510.0.0.802205.x86_64.vib
Then I configured the xorg service to start with the host and rebooted it.
Created a new VM using Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 media and configured it to use 3D support (128MB).
When I try to install the NVIDIA driver on Windows, it tolds me that no compatible hardware was found.
So I started troubleshooting and ran this commands on a SSH session:
When I go to the passthrough configuration, it shows Unkown VGA compatible controller:
On the iLO, it shows the correct model of the graphic card:
Can it be an ESXi version problem?
If I upgrade to ESXi 5.5 after installing the ESXi 5.1 NVIDIA driver, it will continue working?
I've started reading this document: http://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-view-graphics-acceleration-dep…
And the VT-d is enabled on BIOS.
Any help will be appreciated =]
