Re: Second Non Replica Connection Server with View 5.2

$

Thanks for the response mpryor, I've done a bit of reading about CBRC to become familiar with it and will keep an eye on the performance of the environment. I've managed to set this up successfully over the weekend in the following config:

 

1x security server in the DMZ

2x Connection paired connection servers. One with two factor, the other without. Internal DNS pointing to connection server with out two factor

1x stand alone connection server with out SSL or blast for legacy Thin Clients.

 

Only downfall is separate pools for the Thin Clients, but these users don't usually need to pass View sessions between various devices. No tags required.

Automatic Deployment of vDGA VMs with vSphere

$

Hi Guys,

 

we use vDGA together with Grid K2 Cards for VM Deployment.

At the moment, we use the direct-connection plugin instead of the connection server, because we have something like 10 usesr.

 

Is there any possibility or workflow to describe a template which needs a Kepler Core from several existing Grid K2 cards, so that after cloning the template, vSphere automatically allocate an existing free Kepler to the new VM?

 

Something similar is possible with SR-IOV Ethernet, where I have to set a Physical Function (PF)! After cloning vSphere automatically takes an existing free Virtual Function (VF) an allocates it to the new VM, also via DirectPath I/O.

 

Best Regards

Dual-Monitor Issue with the View Client.

$

Hi Guys,

 

I use a Dual-Monitor System (as a Client) for accessing VMs with a Kepler Core of a Grid K2.

 

Therefore I use the View Client, v3.0.

 

If I set the the View Client to be maximized, I have always filled 2 Displays with the VM, independent of the display/nvidia settings within the VM (not able to disable one of the two displays).

 

How can I use the View Client maximized with only one display on a dual-monitor-system?

 

Best Regards

Should be possible todo with a vCenter Orchestrator script, but I have not seen anyone out there.

Yes, it's a very good point.  Eventually, we are replacing workstations with thin clients - I wonder if they do mirroring? I haven't ever tried to configure them that way.

Hi Gaurav,

 

Thanks for the reply. Why do I need to disable ctk? I never needed to disable in VMware Horizon 5.2 version. Is it something related to latest VMware Horizon or ESXI/vCenter version?

 

Note: I've tried to remove snapshot, disable ctk and take new snapshot. It still shows ctk is enabled for some reason. Can you please help.

 

Regards

How would you write such a script? something like that:

 

- scan all nvidia kepler cores on all hosts

- check free ressources (cpu, ram, fee kepler cores)

- allocate nvidia core to the vm -> start the vm on the specific host

 

 

is it possible to write such a script with the available SDKs for vSphres? Especially is it possible to write this with the available python sdk "pyvmomi"?

 

Best Regards

what is your Backup software ???????? I suspect Your backup is enabling that File.Ctk is generally used for backup

I'm not using any backup software for the View Base Image. I can see ctk enabled in View Horizon 5.2 Base Image and I don't have any issues there.

Hello and thank you for replying.

 

We do not use persona management.  In the end, I manually uninstalled Office 2013 from each developers VDI and re-installed it.  It corrected the issues.  I've also for good measure removed and re-installed it on the base image.  I deployed a new VM and it seems to work fine.  It may have been a bad install on the base image...

 

But at the end of the day the users are happy and all is working as it should be now

Hi

 

I'm sorry I did not get a chance to test this yet.  Our maintenance last weekend took far longer than anticipated and left me with little time to play..  I anticipate being able to upgrade my staging copy of View this coming weekend.  I too am curious to see what will transfer over with the license.  I will try and post an update as soon as i can

View Kiosk Mode with Zero Client - Auto login

$

We are looking to use a zero client to provide guest internet access and are currently testing various configurations. We currently have a zero client (Wyse D200) setup with View+Kiosk Mode, which works great, with one main issue. We ultimately are looking to deploy ~300 zero clients which will connect to a floating linked clone pool which refresh on log off, however we only want the zero client to connect to the pool when someone is there and not stay connected 100% of the time.

 

So my question is whether anyone knows how to configure the zero client with Kiosk mode so that a user would have to select 'connect' or something user initiated to tell the zero client to connect to the pool, rather than have the zero client atuo-connect when it powers on? We really like the Kiosk mode and using the mac address for negotiation rather than any type of generic user or anything like that, so it would be great if we can make this work.


view client shade on surface

$

I just recently got a new surface pro 3 (using a keyboard cover), and have noticed an issue with the shade that I never had with my laptop.

 

When I try to click on something near the top of the screen, the shade automatically comes down once i get near the top. So like if I'm trying to switch browser tabs, I can't because as soon as i get close to the tab the shade comes down and covers them. It was never this sensitive on my old laptop using the client on windows 7

 

I currently have the shade disabled, but then i can't switch back and forth between the desktop and my surface

 

has anybody found a way to tame the view client shade?

Re: Unable to add ThinApp Repository

I don't know if this will solve your exact issue but this just solved my issue with not being able to add a ThinApp Repository.  Set the Share to "Everyone" Full, and set ntfs permissions for both Domain Users and Domain Computers to read & execute, list folder contents, & read.  I had previously forgotten to add Domain Computers. 

 

Hope this helps!

Run Multiple Concurrent Sessions in View 5.3?

$

0

Hello everyone, Im new to view, and changed my enviroment to View VDI instead of Terminal Services (RDP).

 

My old scenario was like this:

MS Server 2008 R2 Standard VM with 10 User CALS (10 users could login in at same time to their accounts on single Windows through RDP) and they could open same Application like it was 10 different PCs but on one PC. Basicly we had 10 Sessions simultaneously through RDP.  We had slight benefits using this setup:

1: It uses less resources (CPU and RAM) since Windows is already running and only extra applications were eating resources (for example 10 MS Words).

2. Single License on Windows and on all apps instead of 10 different licenses

3. Less Disk Space

 

So right now I have had setup VMware View 5.3, with same concurrent users 10 user CALS, but How do I connect all 10 of them through Vmware View Client to single machine so each can Login to his/her User Profile on same VM? If Windows supports multiple Concurrent connections to it, how is it possible to use this feature with View? Thanks all in advance.

This is not possible with View 5.3, you need to upgrade to Horizon 6 to be able to use "Hosted Apps".

Be aware that "Hosted Apps" needs the "Horizon Advanced" license.
