Overview In the Endurance server, CE video output is redirected for display on the IOPs. To accomplish this redirection, the Endurance server uses several kernel mode drivers and the CE Desktop application, whose user interface is similar to industry-standard remote control applications. The CE Desktop application is a standard Windows GUI application. It runs on the IOPs and displays CE video output in a window on the IOPs. To display CE video, you must run the CE Desktop application. However, whenever you do not need to view CE video, you can close the application, which is a useful way to reduce system overhead. After the text phase of the Windows boot process, the Endurance software disables the CE video card. The Endurance Video Display Driver (MtcVidD) and Video Miniport Driver (MtcVidR) redirect the CE video output to the IOPs. These drivers are required; you cannot substitute other video drivers. Also, you cannot run any remote control applications that replace the Endurance video drivers on the CEs. Because the CE Desktop application is a standard Windows application, the display window behaves as other windows in Windows applications. You can resize and reposition it, run it in full-screen mode, maximize it, minimize it, hide it, and close it. You can also select various other preferences of display. Refer to Video Recommendations on page 3-6 for information about customizing your display with regards to the most efficient use of the CE Desktop application. The following sections describe Endurance redirected video in detail. 3-2 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide

Overview
In the Endurance server, CE video output is redirected for display on the IOPs. To accomplish
this redirection, the Endurance server uses several kernel mode drivers and the CE Desktop
application, whose user interface is similar to industry-standard remote control applications.
The CE Desktop application is a standard Windows GUI application. It runs on the IOPs and
displays CE video output in a window on the IOPs. To display CE video, you must run the CE
Desktop application. However, whenever you do not need to view CE video, you can close the
application, which is a useful way to reduce system overhead.
After the text phase of the Windows boot process, the Endurance software disables the CE video
card. The Endurance Video Display Driver (MtcVidD) and Video Miniport Driver (MtcVidR)
redirect the CE video output to the IOPs. These drivers are
required
; you
cannot substitute
other
video drivers. Also, you cannot run any remote control applications that replace the Endurance
video drivers on the CEs.
Because the CE Desktop application is a standard Windows application, the display window
behaves as other windows in Windows applications. You can resize and reposition it, run it in
full-screen mode, maximize it, minimize it, hide it, and close it. You can also select various
other preferences of display. Refer to
