HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

Figure A-2 Configuration parameters dialog
NOTE: Not all configuration parameters can be added using the dialog shown above. Please see
VMware View documentation for more details. When adding Svga options, it is recommended that you
do this by manually editing the .vmx file.
The Configuration Parameters that affect RGS functionality are:
SMBIOS.reflectHost = TRUE
NOTE: This parameter is needed for RGS versions prior to 5.2.0. It is no longer needed for RGS
5.2.0 and later versions.
This parameter causes the underlying hardware platform SMBIOS records to be mapped into the
SMBIOS records of the virtual machine. RGS requires the presence of HP-specific SMBIOS records to
become active. This value may be set using the GUI or by directly editing the .vmx file of the virtual
machine.
usb.present = TRUE
This parameter causes ESX to materialize a USB hardware device for the virtual machine use. This is
required to support remote USB functionality for RGS. This value can only be set by directly editing
the .vmx file of the virtual machine. This value is not propagated by Virtual Center clone or template
operations. The placement of this variable in the .vmx file is critical for proper operation, and should be
placed before the extendedConfigFile parameter, which is near the beginning of the file.
NOTE: If you’re using the VMware View USB implementation, the above parameter is not needed.
Svga.maxHeight = <max screen height in pixels>
