GPU passthrough to Tesla P4

I'm running ESXi 6.7.  I'm trying to enable GPU passthrough to a Tesla P4.   I created an Ubuntu 16.04 VM, but the GPU isn't listed in the PCI devices.  The hardware configuration for the VM lists a 4 MB video card, which isn't the P4 (it has 8 GB of memory).   I Googled for the solution but didn't find anything.  I'll continue looking, but if anyone has an answer I'd appreciate it.

Note: I installed the Tesla P4 driver on the Ubuntu VM with no effect.

Have you reserved the memory and set the pciHole.start parameter? Kindly check the below article (Page No. 18-19) once to see if you have missed any steps - https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/whitepaper/vmware-horizon-view-gra...​. If the configuration is correct, check if you are observing any GPU related errors in vmware.log while powering on / running the VM. Or power on the VM and share the latest vmware.log file.

Cheers,
