Hardware buying and setup guides

Eleven of the fifteen Nutanix NX models take cards, and the per-node ceiling is four H100 or L40S in the NX-9151-G9. We went through which nodes support GPUs, how many VMs a card yields via MIG and vGPU, and why the L40S cannot be cut into hardware slices at all. Plus what the presentations leave out: MIG disables NVLink, and live migration demands identical hardware on both hosts.

MIG partitions a card in hardware, vGPU slices time and bills a license per user. We work out how many virtual machines fit on an RTX PRO 6000, an RTX PRO 5000 and an L40S, which profiles and licenses that takes, which hypervisors run MIG-backed vGPU, and why a card listing MIG on its datasheet may still refuse to enable it.
