vGPU与Passthrough结合使用VMware vSphere Standard与Enterprise Plus（M10）

嗨，
目前，您将受益于使用vGPU而不是Passthrough时的监控等功能。
将来还会有其他功能，如运动支持。
因此，如果您不需要提供的功能，那么您可以使用Passthrough和ESX Standard。
问候
西蒙

Hi,

currently you would benefit from features like monitoring when using vGPU instead of Passthrough. In the future there will be additional features like motion support. So if you don't need the provided features you're fine with Passthrough and ESX Standard.

Regards

Simon

嗨西蒙，
感谢您对我的推定的验证。
在XenApp环境中，vGPU运动支持没有多大用处（尽管@VMworld可以观看非常酷的事情!!!正在运行的Heaven Benchmark甚至没有退缩！#epic）

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the validation of my presumption. In a XenApp environment, there wouldn't be much use for vGPU motion support (very cool to watch happening though @VMworld!!! The running Heaven Benchmark didn't even flinch! #epic)

grtz,

Hans

嗨汉斯
如果沿着Passthrough路线走下去，当通过GRID软件更新发布时，您将失去所有新功能。
通过不使用vGPU（GRID），您可以有效地进入仅硬件路由，这里没有功能开发，因为它全部内置在GRID软件中。
当然，你有一个Windows GPU驱动程序，但就是这样。
关于不使用vMotion for XenApp，如何将更新应用于ESX主机？
能够将VM迁移到另一台ESX主机而不必耗尽和关闭XenApp VM以重新启动主机会不会有益？
我不会根据当前的GRID 4.3版本做出决定，请确保评估9月1日发布的GRID 5版本。
这个版本中有很多新功能可能会让它变得有价值:-)
问候

Hi Hans

If you go down the Passthrough route, you will loose all new functionality when it's released through the GRID software updates. By not using vGPU (GRID), you effectively go down a hardware only route, where there is no feature development as it's all built into the GRID software. Sure, you have a Windows GPU driver, but that's it.

Regarding not using vMotion for XenApp, how do you apply updates to your ESX hosts? Would it not be beneficial to be able to migrate your VMs to another ESX host without having to drain and power down your XenApp VMs to restart the host?

I wouldn't base your decision on the current GRID 4.3 release, make sure you evaluate the GRID 5 release coming on September 1st. There's a lot of new features in this release that may make it worth while :-)

嗨本，
我们确保已推出足够的Citrix服务器，以便能够在N + 1场景中处理整个主机的故障。
对于维护，我们也会这样做。
将Citrix VM置于维护状态（从交付组中删除），关闭Citrix VM，执行维护，重新启动主机以及我们去的地方。
在您看来，哪些功能会让它变得有价值？
Grtz，
汉斯



以下为原文

Hi Ben,

We make sure we have enough citrix servers rolled out to be able to handle the failure of an entire host in an N+1 scenario. For maintenance, we would do the same. Put the Citrix VM's in maintenance (remove from the delivery group), power off the Citrix VM's, perform maintenance, reboot the host and there we go.

What would be the features that would make it worthwhile in your opinion?

Grtz,

Hans
