Easy GPU Sharing on a VM

[pio]

Really wasn't sure where to put this, as I don't think we've ever had too many people creating custom software on EHW.  Well....I did it.  I bashed my head against Grok and Copilot, and I learned how to code.  To all you buttholes on this site that told me it wasn't possible, I DID IT!!!!!

I finally figured out a way to share my one GPU across multiple VM's on my rack server.  And I'm going to share with you guys my program that I made, to make this easier!

I started off with "Easy-GPU-PV" script.  It's not PERFECT, but for server duties that require a GPU, this program works GREAT.  I then created a batch file that runs (with Grok / Copilot), that asks the user for some input, and customizes the Easy-GPU-PV scripts, AND automatically runs them for you.  No need to learn scripting, I already did for you.

Just run the "setup_vm.bat" included.  The script files are all there in the /data/ folder, its an exact copy / paste of the original script from github.

I own no rights to the scripting of Easy-GPU-PV.  I only created the .bat file to automate this process.

Note:  ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS 11 PRO / ENTERPRISE HOSTS
Note 2:  I wasn't sure on "version" type in the script.  It calls for version "6" which I guess is "Professional", but I tend to use the IoT Enterprise installers too, which is version "2".  That option in the installer batch MAY be confusing for people.  Pro = Win10 / 11 "Professional" (consumer), and IoT = Win10 / 11 IoT Enterprise.  I did NOT code anything in for home versions or any others.

This script is CONFIRMED WORKING on an Intel Arc A770 on Windows 11 with a variety of VM clients, 3d working on all.

REQUIREMENTS (that I know of):

• Windows 11 IoT Enterprise or Professional Host install
• Hyper-V fully enabled and working on the host
• Nvidia, Intel, or AMD GPU with drivers (that the script can copy to your VM's)
• Windows 10 / 11 Professional or IoT Enterprise VM install
• Dedicated RAM resources for the VM (cannot use dynamic RAM)
