getting error while adding vGPU (shared PCI device) , error message: VVTD (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) is not supported on a virtual machine with vGPU device

Hi all,

I'm facing an issue, I always get the error message "VVTD (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) is not supported on a virtual machine with vGPU device" when I try to add shared PCI device (vGPU)

The ESXi host is HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10, with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5220 CPU @ 2.20GHz, and NVIDIA Tesla P40 (attached the output of nvidia-smi -q command). And it’s running VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 15160138.

For BIOS I am using “Virtualization - Max Performance” workload profiles in BIOS. (I’ve double checked Intel VT, VT-d and SR-IOV are all enabled)

thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Visual

BTW,

the profile “Virtualization – Max Performance“. When choosing this workload profile, the following options are set automatically:

• SR-IOV -> enabled
• VT-D -> enabled
• VT-x -> enabled
• Power Regulator -> Static High Performance
• Minimum Processor Idle Power Core C-state -> No C-states
• Minimum Processor Idle Power Package C-state -> No C-states
• Energy Performance BIAS -> Max Performance
• Collaborative Power Control -> Disabled
• Intel DMI Link Frequency -> Auto
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology -> Enabled
• NUMA Group Size Optimization -> Clustered
• UPI Link Power Management -> Disabled
• Sub-NUMA Clustering -> Enabled
• Energy-Efficient Turbo -> Disabled
• Uncore Frequency Shifting -> Max
• Channel Interleaving -> Enabled

thanks.
