Hi Andrea,

You are right: the feature is currently restricted to a single GPU per VM. You 
could try manually passing through the PCI devices of multiple GPUs using 
“other-config:pci”.

I don’t think there are any plans to change this at the moment. Could you 
explain why passing through multiple GPUs to a single VM would be useful for 
you?

Cheers,
Rob

Subject: [Xen-API] GPU passthrough: multiple vGPUs on the same VM

Hello,
 it looks like it is currently not possible to attach multiple vGPUs to the 
same VM. I tried with XenServer 6.2 and suspect the same happens with XCP 1.6.

I'm successfully using an NVIDIA card in GPU passthrough from a VM but when I 
try to attach a second vGPU I get the following error:

[root@xenserver ~]# xe vgpu-create vm-uuid=... gpu-group-uuid=...
A device with the name given already exists on the selected VM
device: 0

Trying to specify a different device did not help:

[root@xenserver ~]# xe vgpu-create vm-uuid=... gpu-group-uuid=... device=1
The device name is invalid
device: 1

I think the support for multiple vGPUs on a single VM is not implemented at the 
moment, I'd like to understand the following:
1) is it possible to workaround this limitation?
2) are there any plans to introduce this support in the future?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea
