Next follow these steps: You can refer to original post with pics on page one. You will need to reboot the server at this point to make sure the card is in pass-through. You need to make sure to get all the devices used by your video card, usually two of them. The ati video card should be put into pass-through mode in esxi, you shouldnt need to edit any esxi files since amd doesnt lock their cards. vmx it just works like - First thing is make sure setup of esxi and vm are good. I have no added configuration parameters in. Problems have gone it loads and runs fine. I reconfigured the VM by rebuilding it to version 10, and all is well even running under 6.0u3. It absolutely does not support passing through this card in hardware version 11. vSphere changed between version 5.5 and 6.0. I figured out that the problem is the VM hardware version. It would take a ESXi reboot to get passed that again.

Instead the card would be disabled by error code 43 (cant start) in windows.

It would run like normal, however, the next time I started it, the drivers would not load. I worked on it for a solid week attempting to overcome whatever might be mis-configured.Īfter installing the 0 = "FALSE" parameter, finally the vm would sometimes allow the AMD drivers to be installed and not crash. It would mostly crash the VM when it tried to load the drivers (same problem others had). Initially, after 6.0u3 upgrade, i then updated the hardware version (to version 11 from version8) on the passthroug VM thinking that should overcome most problems i might encounter (more compatible), however nothing I did would allow it to run right.

This machine had worked without any problem before (on VS 5.5u1 hw version 8) passing through an AMD firepro on vspere 5.5, so I figured it would be a snap.

My inventory included a series of older (ver 8) hardware version VMs, including the one I wanted to passthrough with the new GPU card (r7360). Some of what you (marcoi) posted such as reserving all memory, and setting the CPU to 'Expose hardware assisted virtualization' helped get passed some of the issues.

It has 5 pcix16 (physical and wired) slots, and one x8 (I think). The box is a Dell r5500, which was close to the last of Dell's version of a rackmount GPU install-able workstations.

I came to this thread looking for help passing through an AMD R7 360 on win 10 64 vm on vsphere 6.0u3. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts / suggestions as to what I should try next I read Nvidia is not enabling the low-end Quadro GPUs for virtualization but well, hiding the hypervisor to the guest OS should work in pretty much the same way others make it work with GeForce cards, no? I tried different versions of Ubuntu and did everything obvious (reserve all memory, 0 set to false etc) as well as tweaking the passthru.map but no luck.

I believe I tried everything I found here and elsewhere: the device is passed to the VM and seen from within (lspci) but driver cannot communicate with the hardware after install (NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed) in syslog. I have been trying real hard to make it work for about 2 month now with no luck, so I thought I'd come ask for suggestions. My setup is a Dell T20 (Xeon) running Esxi 6.7. I am having a similar issue though I am not interested in getting HDMI out "just" want to passthrough a Nvidia K420 to a Ubuntu VM such that I can do a bit of GPU accelerated Tensorflow from within the VM (and later use it for model serving).
