RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description okok102928 2017-07-28 09:38:45 UTC
Description of problem:


I am sorry that my English is immature.

A simple inquiry,

I would like to ask you some questions about graphical virtualization in RHV(RHEV) or KVM.

1. Is the vGPU sharing function (like nvidia GRID) supported by RHV (RHEV) or KVM? (Or like hyper-v's remoteFX vGPU sharing)

2. If item 1 is not supported, when will the feature be reflected?

3. In addition, Is there a way to share the graphics card on the hypervisor node across multiple VMs? No matter how you implement it within the redhat virtualization platform. (And the introduction of third-party solutions.)

Hi,

if you have a Red Hat support contract, it is best to open a support case for this type of questions.

It is supported as Tech Preview in RHV 4.1.4 with RHEL 7.4 Hypervisors and will be fully supported with RHV 4.2 release for NVIDIA Tesla Grid cards (like M60)

Please note that some additional steps are required to get this working. If you are interested in this functionality and how to set it up, please open a support case. You also need to have a business relationship with NVIDIA in order to get the appropriate drivers.

See above.

This is what vGPU is all about. Sharing the same GPU across multiple VMs.
