Setting up a User with Static (Dedicated) Resources
Dedicated (static) resource assignment allows one or more specific computing resources to be assigned
to a user and it allows one or more computing resources to be assigned as backup.
Support for Static roaming allows users to work from other locations. The differing display configurations
can be stacked on the client desktop to provide full access with fewer monitors.
Figure 1-3 Static (Dedicated) Connection Example
In Figure 1-3 Static (Dedicated) Connection Example on page 10, we need to grant user Tom access
to a specific computing resource. A blade PC has been configured to support Tom.
1. We assign blade PC 1 with an IP address of 15.2.76.100 to Tom. See
To Assign Resources
Manually on page 58.
2. To make sure Tom has a computing resource even if blade PC 1 is down, we assign blade PC 3
with an IP address of 15.2.76.102 to act as backup to blade PC 1. See
To Assign Resources
Manually on page 58.
Now, regardless of what client computer Tom uses, he is automatically connected to blade PC 1 at
address 15.2.76.100. If blade PC 1 fails, Tom clicks Connect and is automatically connected to blade
PC 3.
NOTE: If a blade is in a dynamic role and is reassigned as a dedicated resource to a user, that blade
is no longer available for allocation in the dynamic role to any other user, even if the current status is
Available. It is highly recommended that dedicated resources not be assigned to a dynamic resource
role, which will then help you accurately track the list of Available and In Use resources.
