VMware Carbon Black Cloud Professional — Question 38

An administrator is creating an instant clone desktop pool and needs to enable NVIDIA Grid 3D Rendering. NVIDIA GRID vGPU and drivers are installed on the physical ESXi hosts.
In Horizon Console, when creating an instant-clone pool, the NVIDIA GRID vGPU option is not available in the 3D Render field.
Which two of the following could be the reason for the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Horizon 8 does not have an explicit 3D renderer option for instant clone. Select Manage Using vSphere Client in the 3D Render field. Instant-clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client for the golden image.
• B. In Horizon Console, when an instant-clone pool is created, the golden image and snapshot that the administrator selected has not been configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU.
• C. The administrator has selected Shared when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server.
• D. The administrator has selected Shared Direct when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server.
• E. Instant-clone pools do not support NVIDIA GRID vGPU.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the selected golden image and snapshot must be configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU to be available. Option C is also correct as selecting Shared for Host Graphics Settings can prevent the use of dedicated graphics resources required for NVIDIA GRID vGPU. The other options either misrepresent the capabilities of Horizon 8 or are incorrect settings that do not directly relate to the problem at hand.
