Hello,
I am planning to setup a private server cluster (for the first time) for my home computing purpose as we are heavy workstation users because having a single machine to maintain seemed less troublesome than managing multiple high-end desktop computers.
Sorry for my ignorance if below settings don't make sense, as I am not an IT expert, nor an experienced server builder, please educate me with your advanced knowledge on configuring guest VMs...
My initial configuration attempt:
Would it be possible to setup GPU passthrough for each guest user (possibly 3 users) instead of assigning to a VM?
What I want to achieve is to have multiple OS available for each guest user. For example, Users A,B,C can choose to boot among Linux/Win10 while retaining the assigned GPU.
If I were to take a brute force attempt, then I would generate 6 VMs and assign 2 VMs for each guest user.
Does this mean I also have to split all computing resources (i.e. CPU core, memory and GPU memory) into 6? Or can I get by with just splitting into 3 (for 3 users) and hope that we would always only use 3 VMs simultaneously? I'm just worried that we might accidentally start-up 4 or more VMs at once and somehow cause boot failures or BSOD of some kind due to resource overuse and lose other person's work (...sorry for my ignorance here)..
