GPU / NV series sizes available for Virtual Desktop Preview?
Hi there,
Exploring VDI options for our heavy graphics workloads. Been trying to create a host pool for the Virtual Desktop Preview. When I attempt to provision a host pool using the Azure portal the only NV series options I can see are the NV_v2 series. They were grayed out due to a 0 quota for our subscription. Thus I opened a quota increase ticket.
When I received a ticket response the representative said NV_v2 is no longer supported.
Is there another size supported from the NV series for Virtual Desktop? If so how do I obtain access to provision a host pool in that size?
Thanks,
Mitch

Hi Mitchell Garner,
The NVv2 series is indeed no longer available.
However, the NV (v1) is still available (as you can see in the screenshot)
The NVv3 is in Preview (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/sizes-gpu#nvv3-series-preview-1) and will become the latest NV serie.
I don't know when these will be GA, but you could ask it in a support case- Mitchell GarnerCopper Contributor
OK, got it. Think I may have been looking in an incorrect region.
I also went ahead and did a manual host pool and provisioned an NV and added it manually. Having issues with the browser opening the port to the machine.
I know documentation says RDP standard port isn't needed, so in Azure I changed the RDP port for system preparation. Any ideas out there if changing that port may have screwed up the ability of the host pool?
Thanks, Mitch

Hi Mitchell Garner ,
I don't know if changing the RDP port is messing with your deployment, but could you run a Get-RDSSessionHost cmdlet to check the Status of your Sessionhost? It should say "Available" & UpdateState should say "Succeeded"
If that is OK, and you still get the error, you should check the Get-RdsDiagnosticActivities cmdlet with the -detailed parameter to see what the underlying error is
