Horizon NVIDIA grid license release settings

RTVNoord — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 12:30:20 GMT

Hay,

We are using several NVIDIA M10 cards and use the vGPU within VMWARE Horizon.
The issue I’m dealing with is how and when the NVIDIA license are released within the NVIDIA license Server.
Therefore in your client / golden image you can use 2 registry keys: LingerInterval and LicenseInterval (see here: Client Licensing User Guide :: NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software Documentation)

In our situation, the LingerInterval is set at 0 and the LicenseInterval is set at 480 (8 hours)
With this settings applied I see oversubscribed licenses and also double machine names within the NVIDIA license server.

My question is: what are the correct settings for these 2 regkeys, so grid licenses are released / removed immediately when the computer will shutdown.

Regards,

Pascal

I have set the license intervall to a lower intervall (240) in our case and this fits our usecase.

Why did you go for 8 hours?

Well, because the default is 1440 minutes, which corresponds to a period of 1 day and I thought to lower it to 8 hours first.
I will give 240 minutes a try to see what difference this will make.
