vGPU vmotion on vSphere 7

[anilumd]

Hi,

I have read some blogs about live vGPU vmotion needs setting this parameter  vgpu.hotmigrate.enabled in vSphere 6.5.  Is there similar setting available for vSphere 7?

How do I achieve this on vSphere 7.0?

Thanks,

Anil

Thanks for the info.  But I do not find that key value in vsphere 7.  Do I need to add it?

i had enabled it in 6.7 once - but it is too long ago to remember if this setting was only to change or had to be added.

if the setting is not there just add it an test

In vSphere 6.7 the key already exists and have the default value "false". Question is comes the key with the installation of Horizon  or not.  I think it was already there.

You keep saying vsphere, but vsphere isn't a specific product name, its vcenter and esxi combined. You need to make sure you do it in vcenter, not on the esxihost,

• For migration of a virtual machine with NVIDIA vGPU, verify that the target ESXi host has a free vGPU slot. Also, verify that the vgpu.hotmigrate.enabled advanced setting is set to true. For more information about configuring vCenter Server advanced settings, see "Configure Advanced Settings" in vCenter Server Configuration.

Thanks.  I found it, key already exists.  I had to enable it.
