GPU passthrough - two separate VMs at different time possible?

I run a Win11 VM with an nVidia GPU passthrough. I'd like to create another Win11 VM on the same server and passthrough the same GPU to it. I realise I can't run both VMs simultaneously, but I assume that by shutting down the active VM and then booting up the other one, I should be OK. Is that correct?

 

If by mistake I boot up the other VM while the first one is active, what will happen?

Should work fine. I have several VM's all assigned to the same GPU, and it works great.

 

If the GPU is otherwise occupied when you try to start a VM, I'm pretty sure it will just kick an error and not start. I haven't tried it though, didn't see a point to purposely trying to break it.
