In reply to The anatomy of a virtual desktop (Back to Basics) • My Virtual Vision. Hi Kees, i realize it has been some time since you did your Grid test, we have come across an issue where after installing the VIB file and checking that it was OK with the nvidia-smi command, i don't get the option to add a Shared PCI Device in the VDI machines settings. ESX servers are running 5.5 and VSphere is showing as 6.0 is this the issue? are we running an older version of OS and software and as such not getting to see what i need to add the correct device, or have i missed something fundamental on the install process, like actually stating that these devices need to be setup as pass-through devices in the ESX servers settings. I have placed a call with our support team who installed the servers but its not looking like they are getting back any time soon. A little help would be great as i'm stuck as to what to do other than upgrade the servers.

In reply to diomac. The old NVIDIA vib was already installed based on the vSphere 5.5 installation on our NX7000, I had to remove it before I could install the newer VIB.

When you tested this did you already have a the nvidia vib loaded on the previous 5.5 installation? Or did you only install it after you did the upgrade from 5.5 to 6?
