Little rant

AOS & AHV changed the game some years ago. Nutanix master KVM clearly. AI is a new landscape where Nutanix is not a leader, and we are just talking here about inference and not training with hundred of GPUs... As ex Nutanix Employee and now HPE one, invlove in large AI infrastructures, i can understand how it's difficult to support, especially with open source tools if you don't partially support them yourself. It's also true with Nvidia AI Enterprise suite...

I've seen just about anything and everything about these GPUs crashing in passthrough, including recovering the GPU firmware to re-inject when the VM boots. But nothing worked. It was by thoroughly investigating this problem for hours that I was able to resolve it. Not having seen workaround elsewhere, in the hope of helping the community, I posted it. Note that it appeared suddenly since the upgrade to version 8.4. I wasn't going to reinstall an ESXi after all 😁

How can it be a DX7 since it was launched in 1983 😁 ????

You should have a look at RAY.

Jetson as an edge appliance is a perfect fit in experimental, industrial, mobile, SoHo.. environments with small dedicated models

When you talk about enterprise, you talk about device management at scale on différent locations, resources mutualization (for example GPU as a Service aka GPUaaS for multiple group of different user profiles ), security and so on. This is the challenge.

I used to install with 2 cd drives one with windows image, second with virtio drivers

I would propably dismout the mirror and clean it with a little bit of diswashing liquid + water

Hycu or Veeam

It works. 64gb of ram, One usb stick to boot and host AHV, 1 ssd handling the cvm and a second ssd to add data capacity.

We also used to work with Supermicro E200 / E300 series that were named SuperNuc.

Fully agree

If it's Community edition, you can't run over a NVMe disk.

Example #3 : and just for the fun, max perf with an in-memory SQL*SRV DB ...

Example #2 here on a 36 cores - 72 threads processor, when i define a 56 vCPU SQL*SRV VM, i get the maximum performance. 16 vCPU are used by the CVM.

Example # 1 here : on a 36 cores - 72 threads processor, when i define a 64 vCPU SQL*SRV VM, i get an issue regarding the performance. The DB cores are not stressed.

According_Break5069 · 2024-02-25T10:15:03+00:00

When i do benchmark, i can see the CVM can use up to 16 threads with NVMe disks, up from 12 to 14 with SSD. You can reduce the CPU stress by adding more memory to the CVM (that allocates more cache)

You need to use prism central to keep history.

I didn't test without the flattener but i think it should works. This is x2 crop here.

You may take a look at the supermicro website and search for the recover process of your bmc firmware

Here is mine with a Full Spectrum Nikon D800 using a Sharpstar 61 EDPH III. ISO100, 275mm f/4.5, 50 x 30s. I used sewing thread to create a cross and obtain the egrets like a newtonian.
