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.
NOTE: 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.
A.3.1 Create a new virtual machine
Follow the procedure described in Section A-2-1 Create a new virtual machine on page 211 to create
a new virtual machine complete with OS and applications.
A.3.2 Install the RGS Sender on View Master/Parent VM and
modify the configuration file to optimize for VMware View
environment
The RGS Sender configuration file, rgsenderconfig, must be modified to support RGS in a VMware
View environment. This is done as follows:
1.
Launch the RGS Sender install executable.
2.
During installation, all but the following options may be kept at their default values:
a.
If you’re using the VMware implementation of USB redirection, do not enable RGS Remote
USB.
b.
The initial release of VMware View 3.1 that supports RGS 5.2.5 does not support RGS
Single Sign-on or Easy Login; do not select either of these options.
3.
Locate the RGS Sender configuration file, rgsenderconfig, at “C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard
\Remote Graphics Sender”. Right click on the file and remove the Read Only property.
4.
Edit the rgsenderconfig file by un-commenting and modifying the following lines to have values of
0:
Rgsender.IsBlankScreenAndBlockInputEnabled=0
Rgsender.IsCollaborationNotificationEnabled=0
Please see Section
A-5 Disabling the RGS warning popup on page 217 for further details.
