Hello,
I have a ML350p Gen8, and would like to install an AMD FirePro W7000 into it to enable vSGA in VMware Horizon 5.3. This is for a very small setup, a small business of 5 users.
Reading the HCL on VMware's website, the W7000 is certified to work with their software.
Reading AMD's website, all the FirePro's that are certified to work with VMware Horizon 5.3, are only 'supported' in Dell R720 or HP WS460c.
Has anyone had one of the FirePro series work with vSGA in a server other than the two 'supported' models? If so, how about a ML350p Gen8?
I am a bit confused by the term 'supported' as this could mean that either it actually works in only these servers, or that the technical support only covers when the card is intalled in these servers (works on others).
I hope that I can use this card. The reason I have chosen the W7000 over the S7000 is that it is actively cooled, rather than being passively cooled.
I hope that I have explained this clearly enough!
EDIT: My other thought/question was: On an ML350p Gen8, can you choose the default graphics card in the setup utility? A requirement for vSGA is that the card to be used is NOT selected as the Primary or Default monitor in the BIOS or EFI of the server.
Kind Regards,
TonyJr
