RE: Cloudstack/Xenserver/GPU support

2014-06-19 Thread Sanjay Tripathi
Hi Vijay,

If you want to use the GPU/vGPU functionality in CloudStack then you need to 
install XS62ESP1 hotfix on top of XenServer 6.2.0. Once you are done with 
patch installation, reconnect the host or restart the management server so that 
CloudStack can detect the GPU cards present in XS host.

Also, as of now, CloudStack UI only supports NVIDIA k1 and NVIDIA k2 cards, so 
if you are using any other card apart from these two, than you need to make API 
call the API call createServiceOffering as mentioned in Web services APIs 
section here: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/GPU+and+vGPU+support+for+CloudStack+Guest+VMs

Please let me know if you any more queries.

--Sanjay

The problem is that my host doesn’t show the gpu through cloudstack. Just using 
Xenserver direct passthrough, everything works. Just doesn’t work through 
cloudstack.

Sanjay can correct me if I am wrong, but looks like a different resource gets 
loaded for XenServer 6.2 and XenServer 6.2 SP1. So if you are using 6.2 , 
cloudstack will not query the host for GPU details.

Correct.  6.2 SP1 is a different resource within CloudStack, so if you're
on 6.2 or prior GPU pass-through isn't available.

 might be a better place to ask this question.

RE: Cloudstack/Xenserver/GPU support

The problem is that my host doesn’t show the gpu through cloudstack. Just using 
Xenserver direct passthrough, everything works. Just doesn’t work through 
cloudstack.
