Couple quick questions re: GPU passthrough


Recommended Posts

1. Can one GPU be assigned to multiple VM's as long as they are not used concurrently?

 

2. Can a motherboard's on-board GPU (e.g. that found on the SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SSH-LN4F-O) be passed through to a VM?

 

Ok, I lied, I have one additional question regarding running my Windows 10 desktop in a VM.  If the VM shuts down, is accessing unRAID from another device still the only way to boot it? I would typically leave my Windows VM running, but in the event that it does shut down...

6.2 supports a gui boot which will allow you to access unraid to restart the vm

 

Ahh, that makes sense. Just connect both to separate inputs on my monitor. Will the keyboard/mouse plugged into a passed through USB controller be accessible in the unRAID GUI at that point?

 

EDIT:  Wait, are you talking about accessing the unRAID GUI at boot time on the unRAID system? I wouldn't want to reboot unRAID (to get to the local unRAID GUI) every time I needed to start my Windows VM.
