On XenServer, all vGPUs in a VM must be of the same type#

Description#

When a VM on XenServer is configured with multiple vGPUs, all vGPUs must be of the same type. XenServer does not support the assignment multiple vGPUs of different types to a single VM.

What happens when you try to assign a different type of vGPU than the vGPUs already assigned to a VM depends on the Citrix utility that you are using.

  • If you are using Citrix XenCenter, only vGPUs of the same type as the vGPUs already assigned are available for selection.

  • If you are using the xe command, the command fails and the following error message is displayed:

    Cannot create a virtual GPU that is incompatible with the existing types on the VM.
    

Status#

Not an NVIDIA bug.
