A-2-3 Installing The Rgs Sender On The Virtual Machine; Using Rgs With Dynamic Hp Vdi (Based On Vmware View) - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

Svga.vramSize = <size in bytes of the VGA screen buffer>
This parameter tells the VMware virtual VGA device driver the size of screen buffer to use. This value may only be
set by directly editing the .vmx file of the virtual machine and is not propagated by clone and template operations.
The default maximum screen resolution for ESX 3.0.1 running XP images is 1180x885 with 16 or 32 bit color
depth. This can be changed by setting the three svga.<X> parameters described above. The following table
shows several common screen size configurations:
Screen Resolution
1280x1024
1600x1200
Dual 1600x1200
1680x1050
1920x1200
Dual 1920x1200
To compute Svga.vramSize values for other screen topologies, use the formula:
H x W x D = V
H = screen height in pixels
W = screen width in pixels
D = color depth in bytes (2=16bit, 4=32bit)
V = vramSize in bytes

A-2-3 Installing the RGS Sender on the virtual machine

The RGS sender is installed on the virtual machine the same way as on a physical machine. The installation CD or
ISO image must be mounted inside the virtual machine, or the file images can be made available on a file share
for installation. The RGS Sender installation steps are:
1. Start the RGS Sender installer.
2. Follow the Sender installer on-screen instruction and select the options appropriate for your environment.
A-3 Using RGS with dynamic HP VDI (based on VMware View)
In this document, dynamic HP VDI is based on using the VMware View manager. The following steps assume you
are familiar with VMware View, and have read the View installation and configuration documentation—that
information is not repeated here. To install RGS in a VMware View environment, perform the following four steps;
these steps are expanded on subsequently.
1. Create a new virtual machine complete with OS and applications.
IMPORTANT: When building a Virtual Machine for RGS in a VMware View environment, the RGS Sender must
be installed prior to View Agent installation.
2. Install the RGS Sender and modify the Sender configuration file, rgsenderconfig, to optimize VMware View
operation.
3. Install the View Agent as described in VMware View installation documentation.
4. Install the RGS Receiver and the Client Agent on the client computer.
These steps are described in the next four sections.
