Hi ,
We have been using vGPU's for a long while now ( P4's - M60's - K2's ).
However we are NOW just heading into Instant Clone Territory.
Did i hear correctly that we have to use Dedicated IC's for vGPU's ?.. or are Floaters ok ?
We will be using Win 10 rev 1803 probably ( is 1810 being forced on us yet ? )
Anyone have any Advice for getting vGPU's working w/ Instant Clones ?.
Trying to figure out how the POOLS would be designed ?
One Pool Per Card Type Per Profile ?
We try to only have One Profile per Card.. makes life easier .
However we Do use M60's and P4's.
Granted the M60's and P4's DO use the dame driver i believe atm.
So in that case would I have one Pool per Q profile ?
So a new pool for users that have either a P4 or M60 but all have a 2q profile lets say ?
Users with a 4Q would require their own pool ?
Anyone know of Docs Specifically for getting Instant Clones to work with vGPU's ?
Thank you ,

Floaters are ok unless you use direct access.

1803 won't be an issue.
One Pool Per Card Type Per Profile ?
You are correct. You specify a vGPU profile in the instant clone pool settings. It must match the vGPU profile that is on the master VM/Snapshot.

See above. One pool per card type per profile.
So a new pool for users that have either a P4 or M60 but all have a 2q profile lets say ?
The profiles are different between the P4/ M60.
Users with a 4Q would require their own pool ?
Different profiles will need their own pool.

Thanks techguy129.
Appreciate your help !.
So it sounds like every different Profile of every M60 card.. along w/ every diff. profile of P4 cards all require their own pool and thus Image.
Luckily we generally only run One vram / profile per card type.. mostly 2 GB vram on each.
I would be curious how well AutoDESK works on App Layering.. Curious if one has to install that on the gold image ?..
Thanks for you help !
