Can’t enable AMD ReLive VR during install of Radeon Pro Software?

Duncan Epping · Jan 8, 2020 ·

Yesterday I bumped into an issue where I wanted to enable AMD ReLive VR but the option didn’t show in the configuration window strangely enough. I remembered that the first time I installed the Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise I had an option to enable AMD ReLive VR during the process, but I couldn’t recall seeing the option this time during the install. I simply reinstalled Radeon Pro assuming the option would pop up but it didn’t. It seems that this was caused by the fact that there were already AMD drivers installed, a bit strange as all other AMD Radeon Pro components can be selected and installed when there’s a driver present, but ReLive simply won’t show up as an option.

So I used the AMD provided tools to completely uninstall all AMD Radeon related software. When you do this and you reboot the VM you will be presented the following screen at the end of the install of the Radeon Pro software, this then allows you to install ReLive VR, which you can then configure and enable through the settings window as also shown below.

Single socket vSAN ready node AMD EPYC Rome on the VCG!

Duncan Epping · Oct 8, 2019 ·

Yesterday I tweeted something and I want to reiterate it to make sure that those who are just following the blog, and not my twitter account, also are aware. On the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) there were already a number of single-socket servers, but most of these were limited in terms of CPU/MEM resources. Last week two new servers were added to the VCG. These servers are based on the AMD EPYC Rome CPUs and can have up to 64 cores. Yes, 64 cores per CPU. They can go up to 2TB worth of memory, depending on the DIMMS used, also while on the topic of memory, the NUMA implementation completely changed with AMD EPYC Rome, but I am sure Frank Denneman will have something to say about that soon. Why would I bring these servers up? Well, for those looking to do 2-node vSAN configurations or smaller vSAN clusters, they could be a great alternative solution! Heck, I would consider them in general I think.

Two new Dell – AMD EPYC Rome based ReadyNode configs were recently added to the vSAN HCL. Single socket, 32 or 64 cores. Pretty sweet! https://t.co/FwppsLfWMQ
