Looking to run XCP-NG on a R620 w/ Windows 11 Tiny VM. Wondering what my GPU options are. I assume no vGPU support and only GPU passthrough, but I have never added discrete graphics to an XCP-NG host trying for video on a VM…
It’s not something I have done any testing with but there are a lot of posts in the XCP-ng forums about those setups.
nVidia Quadro cards are known to pass through, I’ve read that the more modern gaming cards are now allowed to pass through, but never tried it as I don’t have any of these to try. I have passed an old Quadro through for a test with some Windows 10 and Autocad stuff and it worked fine except that I couldn’t warm/hot migrate the VM and couldn’t do pool upgrades without shutting that VM down. This applies whether there was one card in a single host or identical cards in every host. (or I did something wrong passing them through)
If you wait a couple weeks for all my parts to arrive, I can see what happens when I have an AMD APU graphics and if that is available for the VM, or if it needs to be passed through.
