Enable SR-IOV in ESXi on Dell R650 for Intel Flex 140 GPU

[@Speccy48k]

Great video. Were you able to test VMware Horizon on top of vCenter to provision vGPU VMs? Thanks

[@DimensionQuest]

Unfortunately no, I wasn't able to. My Horizon Cluster is running on older Dell R640s that I was not able to have these cards installed to.

Those gpus are a little bit tricky to get working. I have struggled with Nvidia gpus and boy are they hard to get working. Plus they’ll need separate licensing server at least with the A-series datacenter gpus. Finally when everything is ok with the esxi host, the VM needs to be uefi boot enabled. And with Windows that requires re-installation😂

Yeah, the NVIDIA stuff is $$$$ for the hardware, then recurring $$ for the licensing... Fortunately, more and more of the tooling people use is being optimized for the Intel GPUs now.
