Issue/Introduction

  • GPU compute utilization and Memory utilization metrics are incorrect
  • The memory usage of GPU is equal to what is assigned

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 8.0.X

VMware vCenter Server 7.0.X

Cause

  • This is expected behaviour

Resolution

  • The vGPU metrics in VCF 9.0 are providing the insights into memory utilization in the Guest

     

Additional Information

  • The memory usage and reserved values are expected.
  • They do not provide granularity into the Guest's workload usage
  • From the Host point of view, a vGPU is always using the memory that its profile is assigned. It is a partition that is created on PowerOn of the VM
  • "With the vSphere Client in VCF 9.0, we also get deeper insight into the levels of consumption at the vGPU level, through a new feature called “DirectPath Profiles”, where we show you a summary of the Utilization screen that you get in the vSphere Client at VCF 9.0 to help you understand what is consumed, available and not usable for any vGPU profile.

  • Note: For the environments on version prior to 9.0.X  we recommend using the vGPU Management Pack for Aria Operations.
