Hi,

thanks for the reply,

yes, i have been reading this post more and more and look at every link / log file that is suggested but at some point i'm not devops but just the administrator of the product

issue should be resolved indeed, like i said the situation changed on my end too in where individual random VM's are now experiencing the issue instead of the entire host going "down", with down i mean the GPU that gives up.

Nvidia Support and VMWare took over and did a check of the infrastructure, they confirmed it should work fine. We also configured familiar setups for other customers, same hardware that do not have this same issue.

changing from GRID to Software 3D is not possible I'm afraid, all the end users work in Autodesk products and the infrastructure was initially setup just for that. We were also explicitly told to make sure SVGA is no longer installed within VMWare tools and 3D support is disabled on the VM's / Masters.

the environment actually worked for a few weeks and all of the sudden the first of november the issue started again. No changes were made weeks before the first of november so I'm clueless.

i understand giving advice is not easy, every setup is different, and many parameters are involved.

the entire cluster is running on the same switches (physically, and if i check my personal log to keep track of the users having issues), i now have about 10 reports over the day for an environment with 100+ machines.

when i start going through logs i get lost in there ... not sure what is relevant or not.

regards
