Hello. Please help me. I have an Nvidia Grid K1. How do I configure vGPU on Ubuntu 20.04 KVM hypervisor? is it possible? PCI passthrough with Looking Glass works very good, but I need more than 4 VMS with GPU. I want 32 VMS with GPU.

That’s not happening with 1 k1. It’s just a gtx570/580 with different driver’s. K1’s and 2’s can only run up to 4 instances.

I think a radeon sky can do 7?

from docs.nvidia
"GRID Virtual GPU K120Q Maximum vGPUs per GPU 8 Maximum vGPUs per Board 32
support Citrix XenServer, VMware vSphere, Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM. "
If support RHEL with KVM, probably supports ubuntu with KVM. I don’t want RHEL, I want Kubuntu 20.04

I am very angry!
I bought an AMD FirePro S7150x2 on eBay for 480$, but the seller canceled and put the price at 740$.
In addition, I was able to configure vGPU on intel Graphics 550 with Looking Glass, but can’t configure vGPU on stupid Nvidia.

maybe dig up nvidia-gpu-kepler-xenserver_7. 1-368. 134_amd64. rpm and screw the modules to ubuntu with your hands? But there is no hope.

Another option is to set up with an axe
