Well greetings, people of the internet—Uncle Joe here. In Episode 6 of my “Building a Homelab” series, I finally put the lab to work with a real-world goal: figuring out how to do remote AutoCAD and graphics work using virtual machines while sharing one big GPU across multiple VMs. I’m using my Dell R730 running Proxmox, and I’m taking one of my NVIDIA Tesla/Grid P40 cards (24GB VRAM) and slicing it into six vGPUs at 4GB each so six Windows 11 VMs can use it at the same time. The other P40 I leave dedicated to a single VM, just to keep a baseline. I walk through how I build a clean Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 template, clone it, fix the VLAN/networking, add the PCI device with the right MDEV type, and then finish the Windows side: drivers, Remote Desktop, renaming, joining the domain, and pushing Group Policy by moving the machine into the right OU. I also show the “home lab reality” part—NVIDIA’s licensing is expensive, so I’m using an open-source Grid licensing server (FastAPI-DLS) running in a Docker VM with Portainer to demonstrate what’s possible. Once it’s licensed, I verify the vGPU is actually working with a quick FurMark run, and you can see the Grid P4-4Q show up and do its job.
