Explanation

To enable an instant-clone pool to use NVIDIA GRID vGPU, the administrator needs to do the Install NVIDIA GRID vGPU in the physical ESXi hosts and select Shared Direct in the Host Graphics Settings. Prepare a golden image with NVIDIA GRID vGPU configured, including selecting the vGPU Take a snapshot of the golden image. In Horizon Console, when creating an instant-clone pool, select Manage Using vSphere Client in the 3D Render field. Instant-clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client for the Therefore, the possible reasons for the issue are: The administrator has selected Shared instead of Shared Direct when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server. This option is for vSGA, not vGPU. The golden image and snapshot that the administrator selected has not been configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU. The administrator needs to verify that the correct vGPU profile is selected and that the NVIDIA drivers are installed in the golden image.
