  • A Patron of mine sent over a link to purchase a Tesla K10 card for only $40. And that's when the trouble all started...
    But first... What am I drinking???
    Lompac Brewing's (Portland, OR) Red on Rye barrel aged Red Ale. Wow, this is a phenomenal brew. Malty, oaky, with a bit of a toffee flavor... velvety smooth... I can't say enough good things about this one. Go find one and enjoy. 6.0% ABV
    The whole idea behind this project is to create a self-hosted cloud gaming system. This is typically achieved with nVidia's GRID series of cards. But licensure on newer GRID cards, and the hypervisors that support their use, are prohibitively expensive. Luckily the GRID K2 has no such license requirements. But that doesn't mean this server is actually going to work when I'm done.
    The Tesla K10 is an identical card to the GRID K2, but with 3D rendering disabled by the firmware. The goal will be to hard mod the Tesla cards into GRID cards, and that will happen in the next video.

    I have a Tesla K10, used it in Blender for a while. You can mod the bios using the fermi/kepler bios editor and overvolt the GPU to 1.2V (1.25+ will trip OVP) and remove the power limit. I got 850Mhz on the core and +700Mhz on the memory.

    There's also qemu/kvm which you can use with a Linux host. You're familiar with nvidia not liking visualized environments, but there's a (not so easy) workaround that will enable you to run a virtual machine inside qemu, using any operating system you want for the guest: in a nutshell, you have to prevent the host from initializing the GPU (during the post process) you want to pass through, then dump the GPU boot firmware into the virtual machine's BIOS so it can initialize it. The result is that the guest will detect the GPU like a physical one, so no error code 43, and you get to use the operating system of your choice for the guest.

    The code 43 error is easy to bypass. Just use proxmox, and when configuring the vms for passthrough, just refer to gaming on linux videos (where there are instructions on how to do that.)
    Summary: Hiding the fact that it's virtualized by modifying the XML config file of your vms (one XML per vm mind you) nulling out vendor ids and posting just any random domain, save and try again and You'll be able to do it successfully.

    This may not be easily feasible, nor scale well, but one way I solved code 43 on a VM where I passed a mobile GPU (1050 Ti Max-Q) was by using Intel's virtual GPU solution.
    It boils down to creating vGPUs, passing them to the VM by PCI passthrough along with the nVIDIA card, and doing optimus inside of the VM. Having the Intel card allows you to get a video output without the "Microsoft Basic Adapter". In your case it may be quite hard to do, as you have server CPUs without Intel HD Graphics... However, AMD cards do also support vGPU.
    Your best bet is a QEMU+KVM stack on Linux (4.10+, 5.0+ recommended), passing the Intel iGPU if available (github.com/intel/gvt-linux/wiki) or buying a compatible Radeon card. Split the radeon in 6 virtual GPUs (one for each VM), and pass a full nVIDIA GPU to each VM (no virtual GPU for them).
    Another trick to keep in mind for the nvidia drivers: try tu use PCIe bus IDs that are credible and possible in a real machine, as they'll use this information too to detect a VM...
    Best of luck!

    @MrWrighty42 Před 4 lety

    Very cool to see these server cards being used. Tho this does seems kinda OTT for personal use :) Anyway.. heres my quick 2 cents for anyone interested in something like this for yourself. Personally I use a server for gaming which I access over moonlight (open source client for nvidia gamestream) and i use an i5 with a gtx 1080 (on windows 10). Normal parts in a 4u server case. Couple things I needed to do to run this in the rack. First thing needed is a tp-link on the PC power cable and set the PC motherboard bios to "boot" when power is detected, its (a reliable) remote booting technique and allows for a hard reset if anything was to seriousy crash (without needing to locally go to the machine). Second addition needed is a display emulator to keep a gtx card alive without a monitor (nvidia gtx cards have a habbit of not running without a local display connected). Now just spend some time setting up your desktop (autologin on boot + enable gamestream etc) and start streaming on the clients. First time pairing process can be done over RDP or chromeRDP. In short: If the goal was to just have a PC capable of being accessed by you on any display in the house for playing games (ie only one person). It doesnt need all the exotic server hardware; your existing pc will probably do it just fine. I can access my desktop games on any laptop, television, tablet and even my phone. :) As much as id love to play with some of that server gear lol. Hope this is useful for someone. I love the game streaming technology atm, with my laptop im able to sit and play GTA V cord free for hours, an experience that Isnt possible for as long on any local machine i am aware of, and anything that would run it certainly would not stay as cool. :P

    Wow, Nvidia GRID Keplar based card bring back memories for solutions I put together for customers some years ago (VMware Horizon View + Windows Server 2012 R2 client OS). These solutions were primarily for video editing.
    From a licensing perspective the frist generation Keplar-based GRID cards include the GRID software license. This changed with Maxwell- and Pascal-based Tesla cards. Another licensing issue would be that you cannot (legally) run any Windows desktop OS as virtual desktop unless you have the Enterprise edition with Software Assurance or VDA license.

    • @CraftComputing
      @CraftComputing  Před 4 lety +1

      That is correct. nVidia has no licensing requirements for Kepler, but they do on everything since then.
      VMware does require a license as well.
      Citrix Xen does not require a license, and does support vGPU in their free versions, but Kepler is only supported up to 7.1 officially, although I couldn't get it to work.
      Definitely a bit of a minefield to work through.

    • @brandonp3354
      @brandonp3354 Před 4 lety

      I forget that you require Vmware Enterprise Plus for GRID support. Most business willing, and able, to afford a proper VDI solution will most likely have Enterprise Plus licensing already. At least, at the time, you could get away with the relatively affordable Horizon View Standard which would have cost at least £2k (10-pack CCU + 1yr SnS Basic).
      Unfortuantely Keplar age server gear was not the most efficient for video editing, or at least not when we tried having more than 2 or 3 workstation grade VDI sessions running on a single host (e.g. HP DL380 with dual E5-2600v3 CPUs). At the time an Nvidia GRID K2 card would have cost between £3.5k and £6k depending on the server vendor, and we would need 2 per server. A single node would cost around £24k, with half the cost being the GRID cards, and that didn't include licenses (Windows Server, Vsphere, or Horizon, etc). A simple 3-node solution would easily cost over £100k, possibly between £150k and £200k if we needed to include networking, SANs, additional servers to support the solution, and the considerable engineering effort. You can understand why even a large multi-billion USD company balked at proceeding with such solutions, especially when a 3-node solution was likely only going to support 9 concurrent workstation grade virtual desktops (16-cores, 64GB RAM, K280Q GRID profile).
      Maxwell and Pascal Tesla cards, along with Intel Xeon CPUs with significantly more CPU cores, would allow us to significantly increase the number of video editors we could support. I remember being significantly impressed by the Tesla P4 given its price, performance, power, and some 2U servers were qualified for 6x P4 cards. The GRID limitation of being only supporting a single GRID profile per GPU meant that multiple lower-end cards were sometimes better than fewer higher-spec Tesla cards.
      I would suggest trying to get hold of a Tesla P4, but these still seem to be fairly pricey. They should become more affordable as businesses move to the Nvidia T4 (assuming they don't migrate to a cloud service).

    • @CraftComputing
      @CraftComputing  Před 4 lety +1

      Ah ha! That's why vSphere Free was giving me such issues. Looks like I'll keep trying to get a more recent version of Xen up and running so I can at least get Win10 on a Guest.
      I'd love to get ahold of a Tesla P4, but given license requirements on both vSphere AND nVidia's side of things post-Kepler, it's not something I could afford. The whole premise of this server is low cost VDI. I'm going to be all in for ~$1200 with 3x K2s, 20-Cores and 128GB of memory.
      If this fails, I do have a backup plan in the works, and another plan on using the Tesla/Grid cards (possibly in an NVENC role for Plex, or a remote render farm for Resolve).
      I appreciate the insight, and thanks very much for watching!

    My only request is that if it works, you DM me first, so that I may pick a couple cards up before the market demand jumps up.

    You forgot to mention that Proxmox supports vGPUs since version 5.3 and still does. You should try that if you haven't. And try disabling Nvidia drivers from loading on host when you pass through the entire thing. And trick the windows driver into thinking it's not a VM with the hidden CPU flag.

    I have a K2 running on vsphere 6.7 with win10 guests running vgpu. It's not supported but it works out of box. And you can configure RDP to use GPU encode (nvenc). You'll be generating 10-20mbps network traffic to stream that much video, though, and that's probably what's driving your cpu utilization.

    • @CraftComputing

    I actually have a GRID K520 and that is running in my VM Machine on my Hyper-V Server. To make this work, you need to install RemoteFX on your Windows Server to make the client to work with it and you have to disable the card on the server side so that the client can see it
    Also, VT-d and VT-x should be enabled in the BIOS to make it read them.
    One problem I found out is that the server I have my card in disables the second core because I don't have enough resources to run it so, I can only use one GPU in a Hyper-V VM.

    Try running ESXI 6.5. I know that it can give you a slightly more stable experience. That and Dell releases their own customized ESXI loaders that will have all if the necessary drivers to run properly out of the box. You can then update to 6.7 and it should maintain functionality. Also, see if you can get the idrac Enterprise,it'll let you have more control over the fan speed. Check out reddit/homelab for more information on that. I run a Dell R820 and this is a project that I want to work on at some point as well for pcoip. Good luck and awesome video!

    Hey, I deleted my earlier comment cause you're right, I thought it was an r710, not an r7610 (thanks dell).
    But you should know, there are some Haswell EP boards out there that support DDR3, only some of the V3 xeons support DDR3, but I know E5-2678 V3 , E5-2669 V3, E5-2649 V3, E5-2629 V3, E5-2696 V3 do. There's a cheap (single proc only) $100 Chinese board for these too, 8 dimm so you can drop in 256gb ram if you desire.
    Also, you mentioned targeting six cores per VM, why that number? Are you trying to push it to above 60fps? I think you could get away with 4c for 1080p60, even less if you're really only aiming for esports titles. Sorry if you mentioned it in the video, I watched it last night and may have missed it.
