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.)
There are two potential causes for the NVIDIA GRID vGPU option not being available in the 3D Render field when creating an instant-clone pool in Horizon Console. First, it is possible that the golden image and snapshot chosen by the administrator do not have NVIDIA GRID vGPU configured correctly. Instant clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client, so if the golden image is not set up with NVIDIA GRID, the option will not appear. Second, to enable NVIDIA GRID vGPU, the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host must be set to Shared Direct. If the administrator has selected Shared instead, it may prevent the vGPU option from appearing. Therefore, both incorrect configuration of the golden image and incorrect host settings can cause the issue.
A & B are correct google is your friend
If you set the ESXi host to “Shared Graphics” instead of “Shared Direct,” the NVIDIA GRID vGPU option may not appear when creating a VDI pool because “Shared Graphics” is typically used for VMware’s shared virtual graphics and may not be compatible with NVIDIA GRID vGPU. For NVIDIA GRID vGPU to be available, the host graphics settings should be set to “Shared Direct,” which is the vendor shared passthrough graphics option suitable for NVIDIA GRID vGPU
The statement in A is correct, however the question is asking why the GRID option is not a selectable option\ showing up. What prevents it from showing up is if it is not configured on the host correctly. (D) also the VM you are creating must have it added (B). For this reason I think D and B are correct.
BC is my final answer, lol shared direct is required, and the host must be configured.
Answer will be A & B if you checked it properly on VMware website and test in lab. Instant clone pool will inherit the graphics settings from vSphere client where you can't change it during pool creation.
