With the release of VERDE 8.2.8, support for most modern GPU Cards becomes available.

This article describes the setup and configuration required for a guest session hosted by VERDE VDI to leverage the capabilities of the GPU card. 

Perquisites:

Add the configured GPU unit, identified by GUID, to VERDE image using vgpu-util (see below):

Launch the image

Usage of vgpu-util:

vgpu-util --user USER_NAME --image IMAGE_NAME --uuid UUID

where:

      • user – user name

      • image – Gold Image name

      • uuid – unique identifier for the GPU, for example ()b03beb30-a3bd-45a0-bef5-31f173cfa443 

User name parameter – should be in same format used by the VERDE client.

For example,

      Local users: --user TESTUSER

      AD users: --user TESTUSER@AD

      Image name – same as the Gold Image UI, column NAME

Using the following as an example:

Should use: --image  Win1021h1

uuid – this is the UUID generated after configuring the vGPU (https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/13.0/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html#creating-legacy-vgpudevice-red-hat-el-kvm step 4 -”Generate a correctly formatted universally unique identifier (UUID) for the vGPU” in the NVIDIA setup by that link). User should use same UUID as was generated in NVIDIA steps.
