[Horizon View]How to configure RHEL 6.7 for vDGA
1. Enable DirectPath I/O for NVIDIA GRID GPUs on a Host

2. Power off virtual machine and Add a vDGA pass-Through Device to a RHEL 6.7 Virtual Machine.
2.1 Add New device and select PCI Device and click Add
2.2 Select PCI device from the drop-down menu
2.3 Click Reserve all memory
2.4 Click OK
