PCIE GPU Passthrough
To get passthrough working on esxi host to VM you will need to change a few settings. This works for HP ML350 Gen9 Host:
Add the correct configuration to the /etc/vmware/passthru.map file on the esxi host: There will be a line like this:
# NVIDIA 10de ffff bridge false Add beneath: 10de <Code for your GPU> d3d0 false
The codes can be found here: https://devicehunt.com/view/type/pci/vendor/10DE/device/11C6
Then modify the following parameters of the VM (can be done in the edit settings > VM advanced section on in the .vmx file)
- hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = FALSE
- pciPassthru0.msiEnabled = FALSE
If the GPU has a lot of memory you may want to enable the following parameter:
- pciPassthru.use64bitMMIO="TRUE"
VM Recovery
If a windows VM is not booting and needs to be recovered you may need to sideload the PVSCSI drivers - these can usually be loaded from a virtual cdrom drive in vmware during the windows installation/recovery process when you have booted from installation media. The drivers should be in vmware in a windows.iso located in vmimages\tools-isoimages
