There is no provision to specify GPU count through service offering.

    Sorry, I’m not sure I follow. So right now, my XCP-NG hypervisor detects 8 
GPU cards (Tesla K80). I added a compute offering with passthrough as vgpuType 
and I was able to successfully create an instance and passthrough 1 gpu. I was 
able to validate this as well in the guest VM. I was actually hoping that in 
the createServiceOffering API that there’s a GPU count (just like cpu count) so 
whenever I use that compute offering it will passthrough that no. of GPU count 
in the guest VM.

    Thanks,
    Irvin

Does this means that multiple GPU passthrough to 1 guest VM is not supported at 
the moment? What could be my other options here? I have a requirement for 
multiple GPUs in 1 VM that’s why I’m looking for this solution.

1 VM = 1 GPU passthrough. I have 8 GPUs in my hypervisor and technically I can 
create 8 instance with 1 GPU passthrough each. What I want to do now is to 
create at least 2 GPU to be passthrough 1 guest VM. I can’t see any 
configuration or document to do that as of the moment, is there a hidden API (I 
checked already the service offering API and doesn’t say much) that is out 
there to do this?
