 NVIDIA SW Licensing FAQ

Q. Does enabling vGPU functionality on M10/M60 require additional software?

Answer: Yes.
Refer: http://images.nvidia.com/content/pdf/grid/guides/GRID-Licensing-Guide.pdf

NVIDIA GRID Virtual GPU (vGPU) is offered as a licensable feature on Tesla M10 and M60 GPUs. When a vGPU cfis
booted on these GPUs, a license must be obtained by the Virtual Machine (VM) in order to enable the full features of the
vGPU. The VM retains the license until it is shut down; it then releases the license back to the license server.

Q. Do we sell the afore-mentioned Software License?

Answer. No. Nvidia resellers should be able to see the Software License. Few links below:

 Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS)

Automatic Detection, and re-mediation of CPU

and storage hot-spots

Following anomalies are detected:

a) CPU hot spots
Host, VM, vDisk thread, stargate
Threshold, 85% Host
b) Storage controller hot spots
Threshold, 85% CVM
c) Scheduling rule violation

If anomalies are found, re-mediation by:

a) Live migration of VMs
b) ABS iSCSI session re-direction.

Enabled by Default
Anomaly detection every 15 minutes
