how Session Allocation Manager (SAM) 2.1 can be used to optimize your HP Blade Workstation Solution deployment, enhancing both manageability and ease-of-use. For example, SAM allows the HP Blade Workstation Solution to be configured so that the user needs to log in only once in order to be connected - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 3
virtualized desktop computing resources, based on the HP virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). With VDI, OS virtualization software executes on a server to allow a desktop OS, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP, to run on the server. To support multiple users, multiple copies of Windows can be run on - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 4
ID, which is associated with the number of attached monitors, their layout, and their resolutions. • The HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) properties to use when making an RGS connection, such as windows borders on/off and the RGS image compression level. Based on this information, SAM allocates the - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 5
for multiple monitors-RGS sends the complete frame buffer of the blade workstation to the client computer. For example, the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation supports a frame buffer (and Windows desktop) that can be configured up to 5120 x 1024 pixels, equivalent to four 1280 x 1024 monitors - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 6
. SAM features and benefits SAM has a number of features that allow optimization of the HP Blade Workstation Solution, including: Static and dynamic resource assignments-SAM supports two types of resource assignments: • Static resources-A user and the user's client computer are connected to a pre - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 7
and the user's productivity. • Automatic client aggregation-The HP Blade Workstation Solution, in concert with RGS, allows multiple blade workstation client computers to be aggregated together to form a single virtual client device, operated by a single keyboard and mouse. SAM can be configured to - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 8
resources to users, managing client computers, and managing the monitor layout on client computers. Figure 5. The SAM administrator interface For information on installing, setting up, and administering SAM, see the HP PC Session Allocation Manager User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 9
to use SAM, refer to the documentation available at http://www.hp.com/go/sam. Note that using SAM requires expertise in administering Microsoft Active Directory, as well as general IT expertise to set up and configure the product. HP recommends that, prior to deploying SAM, a pilot installation be - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 10
Step 1: Assign blade workstations to the user In Figure 7, two blade workstations (SAM-BL32 and SAM-BL41) have been assigned to the user, stock.trader. Figure 7. Two blade workstations are associated with the user stock.trader. Step 2: Map blade workstations to a particular monitor layout In Figure - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 11
layout has been associated with the client computer. The effect of these configuration steps is that, when user stock.trader makes a connection from the specified client computer, the desktop sessions from the two blade workstations will be mapped to the two monitors per the specified layout. The - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 12
Step 4: Establish a connection Once the system configuration information has been entered into the SAM administration tool, the SAM Client is used to make the connection from the client computer to the two blade workstations- the user clicks Connect to establish this connection, as shown in Figure - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 13
