使用DDA和Nvidia Tesla M60在Windows Server 2016上播放硬件加速视频的问题

None


以下为原文

Hi, Tim.

First off, my understanding is that DDA under Hyper-V this isn't officially supported yet for driving multiple GPUs -- I assume you're suing GRID 5.0? It does work, however, with our experiments using two P4 cards, so I'm not sure if having two physical engines on the M60 may add complexity and issues. You do have to install your VMs cleanly and not pull them in from some other installation and expect them to work. Use the latest GRID 5.0 drivers on those VMs. Which license/profile are you using?

It could also be the video player -- can you run anything else successfully that shows as properly tapping onto the GPUs and does nvdidia-smi.exe indicate GPU activity on your VMs?

BTW, NVIDIA support said to look for this configuration to supposedly be supported sometime next year when GRID 6.X is released.

根本不支持多GPU。
您可以做的是将2个GPU从M60分配给2个具有1：1分配的VM。
你在哪里下载驱动程序？
385.54肯定不是GRID驱动程序。
您需要从nvidia.flexnetooperations.com下载正确的驱动程序。
您可以使用nvidia.com/grideval创建试用帐户。
除此之外，它应该与VLC和其他玩家合作。
当然它仍然使用CPU，但你也应该看到GPU负载。
根据视频的不同，它还需要在会话中进行解码，例如，尤其是Youtube需要小心，因为它们在VP9中解码，而Maxwell板无法在硬件中解码VP9。
问候

以下为原文

Multi GPU is not supported at all. What you could do is to assign the 2 GPUs from M60 to 2 VMs with 1:1 assignment.
Where did you download the driver? 385.54 is for sure not a GRID driver. You need to download the correct drivers from nvidia.flexnetooperations.com. You can create a trial account with nvidia.com/grideval.

Apart from that it should work with VLC and other players. For sure it still uses the CPU but you should also see GPU load. Depending on the video it also needs to be decoded in the session and for example you need to be careful especially with Youtube as they decode in VP9 and Maxwell boards are not capable to decode VP9 in hardware.

好的，所以我们知道你明年才能使用两个GPU。
这不是一个大问题，因为我们可以构建第二个VM来执行此操作。
所以，现在我在VM中只有一个GPU，并且我通过powershell中的这个命令为它分配了最多8千兆字节：
Set-VM FX1 -GuestControlledCacheTypes $ True -LowMemoryMappedIoSpace 2000MB -HighMemoryMappedIoSpace 8000MB
我也了解到我们需要为M60提供某种GRID驱动程序。
我不知道这个，但我注册了flexnetoperations.com，但我似乎无法找到该网站。
它出现了，我有两个选择。
Nvidia许可门户和Nvidia企业支持
当我点击Nvidia Enterprise支持时，它会进入这个不存在的网站：
http://mantainance.nvidia.com/subject/contact.emails.address
我验证了我的电子邮件地址，所以这应该不是问题。
更新：我可能应该先尝试一下......
nvidia.com/grideval
那么，是否有某个视频可以帮助安装“网格”软件？
我现在处于可以兑换我获得的钥匙的地步。
在我看来，我们可能不得不购买此产品。
这个多少钱？
我在哪里付款？
我是否在HyperV主机或VM guest虚拟机上安装Grid软件？
从我到目前为止，似乎这不是一个非常直接的过程。
在未来，你们应该确保人们知道要求是什么，并且有前期成本。
我只是假设这只是一直都是免费的司机。



以下为原文

Okay, so we have learned you can't use two GPU's until next year.  Not really a huge problem because we can build a second VM to do this.

So, now I have only one GPU in the VM and I have assigned up to 8 Gigabytes to it by way of this command in powershell:

Set-VM FX1 -GuestControlledCacheTypes $True -LowMemoryMappedIoSpace 2000MB -HighMemoryMappedIoSpace 8000MB


I also have learned that we need some kind of GRID drivers for the M60. I didn't know about this, but I signed up to the flexnetoperations.com, but I can't seem to find the website.  It comes up and I am offered two options.

Nvidia Licensing Portal and Nvidia Enterprise Support

When I click on the Nvidia Enterprise Support it goes to this website which doesn't exist:
http://mantainance.nvidia.com/subject/contact.emails.address

I verified my email address so it shouldn't be a problem.

UPDATE: I probably should have tried this first....
nvidia.com/grideval


So, is there a video somewhere to help with the installation of the "Grid" software?
I am at the point now in which I can redeem my Key that I obtained.

It seems to me that we might have to purchase this.  How much is it?  Where do I pay for it?

Do I install the Grid software on the HyperV Host or the VM guest?

From what I have so far, it seems like this isn't a very straight forward process.  In the future, you guys should make sure people know what the requirements are for and that there is an upfront cost.

I was just assuming that this was just drivers which are always free.

我只是想确保我很清楚，因为我需要知道要使用哪个版本的Nvidia Grid。
整个目的是让虚拟机提供RDSH和NOT VDI，同时为许多用户提供硬件加速视频。
所以你有8到16个人使用一台服务器，他们播放的任何视频都将采用GPU加速，因此它非常好，流畅且不会波动。
基本上，我在加利福尼亚州的一个法院工作，我们需要专注于使用这个VM播放视频。
因此，视频是一个巨大的优先事项，并获得最佳性能。
因此，为了做到这一点，我被告知我需要Windows Server 2016并为主机和来宾使用DDA（离散设备分配）。
那么，现在我们知道我们会有很多人使用一台服务器而没有单独的服务器并且使用DDA而不是RemoteFX，我需要哪个版本的网格以及定价如何运作？
我需要支付还是单独支付？



以下为原文

I just want to make sure that I am clear as I need to know which version of Nvidia Grid to use.

The entire purpose is to have a Virtual Machine serve up RDSH and NOT VDI that serves up hardware accelerated video for many users at one time.

So you have 8 to 16 people using one server and any video that they play will be GPU accelerated so that it's nice and smooth and isn't choppy.

Basically, I work for a court house in California and we need to focus on playing video well using this VM.  So, video is a huge priority and get the best performance.

So, in order to do this I was told that I would need Windows Server 2016 and use DDA (Discrete Device Assignment) for the host and the guest.

So, now we know that we will have many people using one server and not have separate servers and uses DDA and not RemoteFX, which version of Grid do I need and how does the pricing work?

Do I have to pay for support or is it seperate?

嗨蒂姆，
你应该开始阅读一些文档。
您可以在此处找到有关GRID的大量信息：
docs.nvidia.com/grid
有关许可证成本和使用的产品，请查看：
http://images.nvidia.com/content/grid/pdf/161207-GRID-Packaging-and-Licensing-Guide.pdf
在我们的文档中，我们还描述了DDA的过程。
http://docs.nvidia.com/grid/latest/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html#using-gpu-pass-through-windows-server-hyper-v
通常，您需要为您的RDSH会话获得vApp许可。
因此，您需要为在GPU上运行的RDSH用户提供CCU许可。
问候
西蒙



以下为原文

Hi Tim,

you should start reading some documentation. You find lots of information around GRID here:
docs.nvidia.com/grid

Concerning license cost and which offering to use have a look here:

http://images.nvidia.com/content/grid/pdf/161207-GRID-Packaging-and-Licensing-Guide.pdf

In our documentation we also describe the process for DDA.
http://docs.nvidia.com/grid/latest/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html#using-gpu-pass-through-windows-server-hyper-v

In general you will need vApps licensing for your RDSH sessions. So you need to have CCU licenses for the RDSH users running on the GPU.

嗨西蒙， 
我现在已经准备好了。
我在安装了评估许可证的情况下设置了许可证，并在我的Hyper-V主机和我的VM guest虚拟机上安装了Grid Drivers，但是我需要将许可转移到GRID-Virtual-Apps而不是Quadro-Virtual-DWS。
我怎样才能做到这一点？ 
它只是说特斯拉在Nvidia控制面板下的管理许可下的VM中未注册。



以下为原文

Hi Simon,

   I have everything setup now.  I have a server set up for licensing with an evaluation license installed and Grid Drivers installed on my Hyper-V host and my VM guest, but I need to switch the licensing over to GRID-Virtual-Apps instead of Quadro-Virtual-DWS.  How can I do this?

   It just says that Tesla is unregistered in the VM under Manage Licensing under the Nvidia Control panel.

嗨蒂姆，
这是一个已知问题，将在下一个版本中修复。
目前可以让它“特斯拉未经许可”。
这不会影响功能。
问候
西蒙



以下为原文

Hi Tim,

this is a known issue and will be fixed in the next release. For the moment it is OK to have it "Tesla unlicensed". This won't affect the functionality.

Regards

Simon

嗨西蒙，
好吧，我需要确保我处于Grid-Virtual-Apps模式，而我无法找到如何切换并选择“Tesla Unlicensed”将不会这样做。
我如何获得电话帮助？
我需要和某人谈谈，我已经给某人留了电子邮件，但没有人帮助我，因为视频没有加速，我需要帮助。
我觉得我几乎就在那里，但只需要足够的帮助就可以到达我需要的地方，而且我没有电话号码可以寻求帮助。
如果这样做，我们愿意支付费用，但我需要证明它可以在服务器上加速视频，但它还没有这样做。



以下为原文

Hi Simon,

Well, I need to make sure that I am in Grid-Virtual-Apps mode instead and I can't find out how to switch over and selecting "Tesla Unlicensed" won't do it.

How do I get phone help?  I need to talk this over with someone and I have left email for someone, but nobody is helping me and I need help with this as the video is not accelerated.

I feel like I am almost there, but just need enough help to get to where I need to be and I don't have a phone number for help.

If this works, we are willing to pay for support, but I need to prove that it works properly with accelerating video on the server and it's not doing that yet.

我确实假设一旦我们购买了网格产品，我们将获得电话支持，因为现在我对这款产品的帮助印象不深。
我已经按照快速入门指南来启动和运行这个东西，但是我需要帮助才能在Windows Server 2016上获得DDA（离散设备分配）的正确许可证，我几乎都在那里，除了它还没有工作
（可能是因为我需要获得正确的许可证），但是这个论坛是唯一帮助过的人，虽然这很好，但我希望在他们的“企业”支持上看到他们的产品线的实际支持。
快速入门指南并没有真正的DDA，它只是基本的VMware，这是我们不使用的，所以我必须在这个论坛的一些帮助下看到让我自己工作。



以下为原文

I do assume that once we buy the grid product we will get phone support, because right now I am not too impressed with the help of this product.

I have followed the quick start guide to get this thing up and running, but I need help in getting the correct license for DDA (Discrete Device Assignment) on Windows Server 2016 and I have it almost all there, except it isn't working yet (probably because I need to get the correct license), but this Forum is the only people helping out and while that's nice, I would like to see some actual support for their product line on their "Enterprise" support.

The quick start guide doesn't really have DDA in it, it's just basic VMware, which is what we don't use, so I have to see about getting this to work on my own with a little help from this forum.

此外，如何测试CPU是否在我的Windows Server 2016 VM中运行。
我曾尝试使用GPU-Z，但是没有报告任何内容，甚至gpumodeswitch.exe --listgpumode也说“找不到Nvidia显示适配器”，即使它在我的VM上的设备管理器中并且说“Nvidia Tesla M60”
”。
我想测试GPU性能，对此有什么想法吗？



以下为原文

Also, how can I test to see if the CPU is working in my Windows Server 2016 VM. I have tried to use GPU-Z, but that doesn't report anything and even gpumodeswitch.exe --listgpumode is saying "No Nvidia Display adapters found", even though it's in my Device manager on my VM and says "Nvidia Tesla M60".

I would like to test GPU performance as well, any ideas on this?

嗨蒂姆，
如果您有有效的SUMS协议，那么您只能获得ESP资格。
您确定在VM上设置了正确的GPO（本地策略）以获得RDS会话的GPU加速吗？
听起来你错过了这一步，因此你不会看到GPU加速。
*剪断*
在Windows Server 2016和Windows Server 2012上，RD会话主机服务器上的远程桌面服务（RDS）会话使用Microsoft Basic Render Driver作为默认适配器。
要在Windows Server 2012上的RDS会话中使用GPU，请在组策略中为所有远程桌面服务会话启用使用硬件默认图形适配器设置本地计算机策略>计算机配置>管理模板> Windows组件>远程桌面服务>远程桌面
会话主机>远程会话环境。
*剪断*
你是怎么运行GPUModeSwitch的？
有ISO吗？
所有最近购买的M60都已经以图形模式提供，所以如果电路板没有多年，就不需要进行模式切换。
问候
西蒙



以下为原文

Hi Tim,

you're right that you are only eligable for ESP if you have a valid SUMS agreement.
Are you sure you set the correct GPO (local policy) on your VMs to get GPU acceleration for RDS sessions?
Sounds like you missed this step and therefore you won't see GPU acceleration.

*snip*
On Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) sessions on the RD Session Host server use the Microsoft Basic Render Driver as the default adapter. To use the GPU in RDS sessions on Windows Server 2012, enable the Use the hardware default graphics adapter for all Remote Desktop Services sessions setting in the group policy Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment.
*snip*

How did you run GPUModeSwitch? With the ISO? All recently bought M60s are delivered in Graphics mode already so if the board is not years old there is no need to do mode switch.

Simon
