View 7.1.0 - VGPU Desktop Pool Limit?

Hello,

Is there a limit to the number of vGPU Desktops pools in View 7.1.0?

I am attempting to create a Manual VM Pool for use with NVIDIA GRID VGPU.  I have selected the 3D Rendering Option, however when I got to select the VMs to add to the pool they are not appearing in the list.  If I select "show all virtual machines", the VM appears in the list but has an alert on it:  "NVIDIA GRID GPU support does not match desktop setting"

Here is the odd thing, I have an existing pool with the EXACT same pool settings, just different user access assignment, and I am able to add that VM to the pool without any issues.

I am hoping someone could shed some light on this issue.

Thank You

Hello,

The limits on the vGPU's that can be assigned: Documentation for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.1

That seems a little different than the question asked, let me know if answers it.

Here is some steps that were found:

  1. Go to parent machine, right click and go to Edit Settings.
  2. Add a new PCI 0 device.
  3. For the PCI device, choose "NVIDIA GRID vGPU".

The driver will need to be installed on the parent machine before creating the pool.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello,

I was going to remove this post and I noticed your reply.  For whatever reason, I went back into my Horizon Administrator console and created the vGPU pool again and the VMs properly showed up and being and option to select.

Thank you for the response.
