The results of this theoretical analysis amply demonstrates the fact that application owners, DBA’s, VMware administrators and storage administrators would have to work hand in hand in order to setup a well-tuned Oracle database on vSphere especially in in a non-VVol or VSAN world. What this article tries to endeavor is to illustrate, with a simple example, the fallacy in presuming that queue tuning only needs to be done at the Application level and that it’s okay to ignore storage physical limitations. Much has been written about Virtualization & Storage queues, excellent blog articles by Duncan Epping, Cormac Hogan and Chad Sakac go through in depth about the various queues.

Imagine what would have happened if there were no queues?ĭisorder, chaos, anarchy: now that’s fun! – DAVID J. Queues are often misrepresented as the very “bane of our existence” and yet queues restore some order of semblance to our chaotic life.

But with this YMMV.Īs always, feel free to reach out in case you have any question regarding this setup and I’ll try to answer. Now you can overclock as you like, without any modification it was doing 51 MH/s (having a 214w consumption) in average, after a little bit of tweaking and trying to be more efficient, I was able to get an average of 61.90 MH/s (125w consumption). Personally I used PhoenixMiner as Ethminer pool wasn’t working at the time I wrote this guide.

You need to go to HiveOS website and create a worker, you’ll acquire a worker ID and password which you need to setup on your VM.Īfter that you need to create a “Flight Sheet” if you don’t have one already. You should be all set to boot your VM and do a regular HiveOS install. Please note that if any of this settings is not in place (specially the last one), the VM won’t be able to utilize the CUDA cores as it will complain about “invalid device ordinal”. Not sure if the sound is required (best guess is not) but I added it anyway.Ĭlick on Add other device -> PCI device a couple of times and then assign both devices that come from your NVIDIA GPU.Īfter this, go to VM options -> Advanced -> Edit configuration and make sure this settings are in place (or set them if not). This step requires a reboot of the ESXi host.įirst, expand memory and check the Reserve all guest memory (all locked) option.Īssign the PCI devices to the VM. If its inactive, click on the upper button “Toggle passthrough”. Make sure that your passthrough status looks as active.

Step 2: Setup your PCI device as passthrough Once this is completed after few minutes depending on your SSD/HDD, the clone will finish and you should be able to assign this drive to a VM HD. :~] vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/datastore-hdd-1/hiveos1/ /vmfs/volumes Vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/filename.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/newfilename.vmdk vmdk file to your datastore and enable SSH on your ESXi host.

I used Starwind V2V converter for this task.Īfter converting it I had an issue after I tried to attach it to a VM, so I had to clone the disk inside of ESXi to make it work. img file and you’ll need to convert it to VMDK.

Once you download it the format will be on an. However, seems like common consensus about this card is around the same output as the one I’m getting (61.90 MH/s). No performance should be lost using DirectPath I/O but I’m unsure if this actually true as I didn’t test this device on a non virtualized environment ( yet!). as I don’t have the proper experience with HiveOS and mining. This won’t cover GPU performance tuning, underclocking, etc. This guide is specific to the deployment of HiveOS, however this can be leveraged for other workloads that you might want to virtualize such as Tensorflow. Not sure about PCI passthrough limitations on VMware but in this case it’s only one GPU, so YMMV.

In this case I have the limitation of using vmklinux driver to power up my AMD Ryzen setup, so I cannot upgrade to ESXi 7 without acquiring a new NIC.Īlso, this test was done only with a ZOTAC RTX 3070 but all the cards should work exactly the same way.

This guide assumes that you have an ESXi 6.7 (or higher) setup working.

This guide is to give a quick overview on how to setup HiveOS on ESXi 6.7 using PCI passthrough to setup a GPU.
