Add a GPU to a VM

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Function Description

This function allows you to add a GPU to a VM to change it to a 3D-supported VM to better support scenarios with high requirements on image processing.

Precautions

  1. If a GPU is added to a powered-on VM, the addition takes effect after the VM is restarted.
  2. You can view the 3D-supported VM desktop in the VM console only if the VM runs on Windows 2016. If it runs on another Windows operating system, you need to connect to the VM via a client or remote desktop before installing the graphics driver. You can view the 3D-supported VM desktop in the VM console if it runs on Linux.

Prerequisites

You can use passthrough GPUs only if HCI has GPU cores set to the passthrough mode.

Procedure

  1. Go to Compute > Sangfor HCI. Right-click the target VM and select Edit.

  1. Select GPU from the Add Hardware drop-down list.

  1. Select the GPU model and click OK.

①Add the GPU to the VM.

②Select the passthrough or division mode.

③If there are multiple GPUs on the VM, select the model for the added GPU.

④Select the division mode already specified.

⑤Check the video memory in the division mode.

⑥Select the scheduler. If there are multiple different scheduler policies for different GPUs of the same model, the VM selects a GPU based on the scheduler policy.
