If this option is available, make sure the standard GPU is set as Primary and the high-end GPU is set as Secondary.Īfter the Nvidia hardware has been installed, you’ll need to install the drivers into ESXi 5.5 using the following:. If you have two GPUs installed, the server BIOS may give you the option to select which GPU should be the Primary and which should be the Secondary. Two display adapters – If the high-end NVIDIA card is set as the primary adapter, Xorg will not be able to use the GPU for rendering. Otherwise, use your pilot or POC to validate the above, and adjust accordingly. Some of the above can be clarified further by a desktop assessment of those existing physical workstations used by CAD users.

Endpoints – Are proposed client devices powerful enough to handle the workload of 3D? Tera1 devices can support up to 30fps, Tera2 devices up to 60fps.

As a result of networking, how do you tune PCoIP accordingly? Max\Min Image quality, Image Caching, FPS & Max Session bandwidth?.

Network – LAN v WAN? Expected latency of connection as higher latency will impact the CAD session.

GPU – How do you carve up your GPU selection across your available slots?.

Balance CAD workloads (if heavy and demanding) across K1 hardware and ESXi hosts.

View Pool type – Automated or Manual? Due to passthrough device, vDGA can only use a Manual pool, not Automated or Linked Clones (only software rendering and vSGA).vSphere features – Impact from using Direct I\O passthrough device to virtual machines – No HA, DRS and vMotion.Pool settings (video RAM) – 64MB to 512MB? If choosing 512MB, consider the additional overhead and available resources of the cluster.Storage – Will fast shared storage be used? Does this provide the required I\O, latency and throughput? Can local SSD storage be used? Consider the impact of local storage, in terms of availability, manageability and maintenance operations.Virtual Machine resources (RAM\CPU) – Small, medium or large VMs? If considering large VMs for CAD users with maybe 4 vCPU and 8GB RAM, how does this affect CPU co-scheduling, HA. host density or other virtual machines etc.There are a number of decisions or choices, some of these are typical for vSphere and Horizon View design, however they require thought, along with the impact on other parts of the design. Dell Wyse P25 Zero Client, with latest v4.2 firmware applied.x2 Nvidia K1 GRID cards per host, offering 8 GPUs per host (4 per card).x2 Dell PowerEdge R720 – 128GB, x2 CPU (12 cores each), core speed 2.3GHZ and local SSD storage.These are the resources that were available (design constraints). The hardware for the project had already been procured before the engagement started. Of course, vSphere 5.5 can handle virtual machines of that size, if required. The customer is aware performance may not match physical, as those dedicated workstations have resources up to 24GB and x2 CPU (6 cores each). The above may be slightly vague, however the pilot or POC is there to validate if the solution can replace existing physical desktops going forward. The ability to rotate, zoom and interact with models with no excessive lag or jitter would be considered a success. Performance should be suitable for CAD users compared to existing physical workstations.Performance doesn’t necessarily have to match or exceed that of a physical workstation.

Provide full scale workstation replacement for CAD users (approx 8).

Let’s step through a couple of deployment stages:. My primary resource I used for this deployment is the VMware whitepaper Graphics Acceleration in VMware Horizon View Virtual Desktops You’ll find plenty of resources already out there, going over the differences, advantages and disadvantages of each. Therefore, I’ve spent quite some time researching the technology and also hands on with the graphics acceleration offering from Horizon View 5.3, such as vSGA and vDGA.

One of the main business drivers and Use Cases, is full scale workstation replacement for CAD users (approx 8). Over the course of the last month, I’ve been engaged with a client around a Horizon View Plan & Design.
