Configuring A Monitor Layout For A User - HP BladeSystem bc2000 - Blade PC Administrator's Manual

Configuring a Monitor Layout for a User

HP SAM allows a user to connect to multiple computing resources, thus running simultaneous RGS or
RDP sessions. Blades can be made available either by static assignment to the user or by assignment
to roles allocated to the user.
Static user/display ID to computing resource mapping allows a specific combination of user ID and client
ID to be mapped to a specific computing resource or a specific group of computing resources. When
that user logs on to that client using RGS, the preconfigured computing resources are displayed at a
specific location and resolution on the client monitor or monitors.

SAM needs to be configured to display the information from these blade PCs on Lee's two monitors.
1. We create a monitor layout ID first. See
2. We assign the new monitor layout ID to Lee's access device. See
on page
3. We assign the Monitor Layout ID to Lee and select the two blade PCs already assigned to him as
resources for that Monitor Layout ID. See
Both monitors have the same resolution width and height, so we enter 1280 and 1024, respectively,
next to each blade PC selected.
HP SAM treats the set of monitors as a single unit. To display output from each blade PC on a
different monitor, we have to specify the horizontal and vertical offset, the distance from upper left,
at which the output should appear.
We want output from blade PC 4 to be displayed on Lee's left monitor and output from blade PC
5 to be displayed on his right monitor, as shown in
on page
set both the horizontal and vertical offsets to 0. To display output from blade PC 5 on the right
monitor, we must set the horizontal offset one monitor resolution over, so we set that horizontal
offset to 1280. The display is not lowered, however, so the vertical offset is still 0.
Support for Static roaming allows users to work from other locations. If Lee logs in from another client,
the differing display configurations can be stacked on the client desktop to provide full access with fewer
monitors.
