Description Badalyan Vyacheslav 2016-06-21 20:52:19 UTC

Hello!

Please plain to add virtio-gpu and gl=on on spice features to Ovirt. It's very intrasted for VDI support!

Best test case for support android emulator in VM for developers VDI.

RH kvm team was backported support to KVM

Thanks!

There are still too many limitations and rough edges to be able to use it for VDI. The client side virgl support is not there yet.

So there is still some work needed before we can add it as a usable feature, we'll review it again once RHEL 7.3 is out to see how stable and usable it is then, so that would likely mean oVirt 4.2 at earliest

- SDL2 and SPICE now support OpenGL and virgl. For SPICE, Unix sockets are the only usable transport when OpenGL is enabled.


http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.5
- virtio-gpu 3D support requires virglrenderer.

Which means you can only use it on a local machine as a Unix Socket cannot be accessed across a network.

We still have quite some work to do here, including vGPU support for NVIDIA Tesla cards, spice-streaming, etc. So this will still take some time to settle.

Due to some security concerns around virGL and vGPU being implemented, closing this one.

The workaround would be to use either vGPU or GPU passthrough for now.

Having VirGL support added will take quite some time until this is meant to be usable enough and including SPICE support.
