The simplest configuration of vmware view?

Good evening

We have a small project with 5 desktop computers (= Users) and we think that it would be a good place to test VMware View.

Unfortunately, it seems that we must implement the 4 servers to serve 5 customers:

  • See connection to the server
  • VMWare vCenter Server with View Composer
  • ESX Server
  • View transfer server

What is the most simple and functional solution for VMware View with 5 users?

The only software they use is a simple accounting tool that works very well with 100 k of memory...

We hope that we can install a simple solution like this:

HP (server) hardware with:

  • ESX Server with:
    • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with Active Directory and the file server
    • 1 x Windows 2008 R2 with VMWare View to serve the 5 office users

Unfortunately, there are no pre-sales VMware does support form / email (we hope that there is a customer support).

Therefore, it would be great if someone can help us to answer this question.

Thank you very much in advance,

Kind regards

Thomas

I also wonder how this bake-off will go. I hope that the victories of view! In order to achieve this please take a good look at the documentation of the view. I also highly recommend that you take a look at the guide to optimize Windows 7 to see: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View-OptimizationGuideWindows7-EN.pdf

This will show you how to build a good image of Win 7 basis for review. Also note that it is strongly recommended that you build your base images starting from zero and NOT P2V them. You can quickly and easily build images for operating systems Windows using MDT 2010 update 1. This tool is free and is Microsoft. I strongly recommend that you take a look. In addition, many optimizations for Win7 and view are also good for use with Xen. Good luck.

  • Installation of the SDK to allow VMWare View to connect to VC - how?

    Hello

    I installed the server VMWare View connection, but when I try to add my VC, I get a connection error. I checked the firewall ports and traffic becomes to my VC so I don't think that's the problem. I checked the event log on the server VMWare View connection and try to connect to http:// < virtualcenter >: < port > /SDK

    I guess this way tells me that I need to install the SDK. I downloaded it, but the installation instructions are not clear, and I find nothing in the installation guide for VMWare View to help me.

    Can someone advise or give me a detailed guide on what do I do?

    There is nothing to install. The URL... / sdk will give a 404 error, it is not used as-is. For example, I've seen configured to point to the VC:

    Server address: vc.mpryor.int

    User name: administrator

    Password: *.

    Connect using SSL: true

    This will save the URL https://vc.mpryor.int:443 / sdk in ADAM and use it. Navigation it will give me a 404 error, but I assure you that I'm using without problem.  You must have a network issue - check firewall, proxy server (for the machine, not your user account) and DNS.

  • Is it possible to remove the disposable disc to a pool configuration in VMware View?

    I would like to remove the option of disposable disc several persistent pools in VMware View Horizon 5.3.1 (where virtual machines are already using disposable disks); However, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in the options of the pool. Is it possible to remove the disk otherwise option or should I remove the old pool and create a completely new without this option enabled?

    I used disposable disk option seems to be to save storage space, but I discovered that disposable disks have been updated only when displaying launched a turning off the virtual machines in the pool (which never happens). I thought that disposable records updated each time that a client shutdown/restarted the VM... but which is not the case. Given this information, I would like to stop using disposable disks as they really may not confer any advantage the way our persistent virtual machines are configured.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    OK, you're right... only the drive letter customization is allowed.

    Now to answer your question, the one and only formally is to remove the pool by archiving all disks persistent (user data disk), and then create a pool with the same name (but without SDS).

    In addition, select all the archived UDD and then click on, "recreate". All new desktop computers will be recreated with the new spec,

    Another way (not officially committed / not sure of its effects)

    EAP-SVIVmPersistentDiskSpec entry will be there to ADAM OR = database server groups (VMware KB: connecting to the Database View ADAM)

    This entry will be there for disposable system that has a parameter "DiskUsage is SystemDisposable".

    Upron deleting the corresponding entry * may * end configuring don't not the SSD for the supply of others.

    Hi team,

    2. don't have us install and configure SSO on the remote machine where we have installed the vmware view client?

    or this sso must be installed on individual workstations?

    3. can I use vmware sso that comes with vcenter 5.1 for this set up?

    any help would be appreciated

    Kind regards

    Shan

    N ° you must install anything on virtual desktops other than the Agent of the view. This gives view SSO.

    You can talk about vCenter SSO who is not related to the PSO from view.

    To display, you must only install the software referenced in the view installation guide.

    Had the same problem with the t5145. HP said to allow the direct connection and it should work with vmview. However he has worked with the former client of 2.0 client just couldn't do SSO on. Technology of lvl 2 HP said that he could not do the tunneling using the broker.

  • The installation of VMWare View Server program

    Hello

    I have a solution of ESXi, vSphere 5 where I host all my virtual servers with a virtual vCenter Management Standard.  I'm working on that I need for a configuration of VMWare View and I was hoping someone here could help me.

    I have 12 physical blades to host my VMWare View solution (according to the calculations of number of jobs) and I have VMWare View Bundle licenses.

    Ive been reading through the notes and he says that this set comes with an edition of vCenter.

    A few questions:

    My existing vCenter instance should be used to manage the VMWare View host or do I need to install a separate instance of vCenter VMWare View and use the license in the bundle?

    I guess I should install ESXi instances in the beam that will allow me to supply only desktop computers?

    If I have servers connection and composer, should they be hosted in Clusters VMWare View or the cluster of servers existing vsphere 5?

    If this is the case, I also have a question about the network configuration.  When I install the ESXi for VMWare View, will I still have a requirement for a management console, the vmkernel, and the 'Front End' (for users IP address) vnic to the vswitch?

    Another question about the round rbin DNS.  I try to also install Connection 2 and 2 servers of composer whose load is balanced.  Anyone has any info on setting up of Robin DNS?

    Thank you very much

    We use a 6 with network storage based physical NETWORK adapter configuration.

    You will have a default port for management.  vMotion is split to its own IP address, and these two vmkernel ports are on the same vSwitch, with natachasery used by one and waiting for the other.

    iSCSI must be separated from its own vSwitch and pair of NICs as well supported by linked vmkernel ports for redundancy and load balancing.

    This leaves at least another vSwitch and pair of natachasery to the actual traffic of vm.

  • Comprehensive policy in VMware View 3.0.1 no matter who got the job

    We strive to disable access to the local drive and the only way to it is by loading the models of global policy of VMware in our Active Directory.  We did tis and the Active Directory team ensure that the vms and the user are policy assigned to them. However VMware policy I never see in the local politics of the vmwhen I have VMware view connection.

    We disable the local drive and obivous still see them.  Any who do know another way of disabling the local disk access or know what I could do bad on the setyp of world politics.  It did not work on version 3 or 3.0.1

    Hi Paul,.

    disable the local disks of VMware strategy within the ADM file (client.adm) affects customer theView. So, this means that you must apply the policy to the connected device and is a member of an actress Directory domain. It is also a political base user and should be set to the OU where the user account is in or granted to the user.

    If you want to control at the peripheral level (agent, Virtual Office) based readers, you must use the Active Directory policy for this.

    In the screenshot below, there was no policy applied:

    Now, I put the standard Active Directory policy. This rule is computerized and must be applied to the OU where the virtual office resists in.

    Now readers are not visible to the user, not mapped...

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • VMware View - provisioning question of desktop computers

    I'm new to VMware View and just build a my QA cluster environment.  I have installed/configured view administrator on a dedicated virtual machine and installed/configured on my server vCenter composer.  I created a gold statue (called, joined the domain, configured custom parameters, view agent installed) and converted to a model. Then, I created a pool on my server administrator to view and added 10 desktop computers.  They have all implemented successfully, however, they all have the same computer name (same name, I named the machine of the gold statue).  The machines that appear in VMware show the naming convention that I created, but the internal computer name is the same for all. I guess that the DNS name.  also, I can have these machines added to the announcement through this process or do they need to be predefined?

    Customization = None seems to be the reason. When we customize him clone all the related machine settings are kept from the model VM, which are the name of the Machine, machine SID, the work/domain group settings, etc. That's why you see Office all the same names as those given to the model. You can create a customization specification in the CR. Instructions to create a file of customiztion specifications in vCenter can be found at:

    http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-4-esx-vcenter/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vsphere.vmadmin.doc_41/vsp_vm_guide/deploy_vms_from_templates_and_clones/t_create_a_customization_specification_for_windows.html

    Use this technique of customization when you create the pool. Hope that helps.

    Hello

    Internally everything works very well both RDP and PCOIP, but when I try and connect to the outside I get a blank screen and the error message below is displayed

    'The connection to the remote computer is done '.

    We have a firewall watchguard I have a configuration of "Any", and NAT rule to the internal IP address of the server view connection, originally I have just limited the ports concerned but even after I put the port in the ports 'ALL', it still does not work.

    If I try to RDP, he just does not connect "failed to connect to the remote computer", it makes no sense that in their own country I can RDP and PCOIP without problem...

    I tried all the below

  • VMware View - RDP works, PCoIP mit error

    HI Leute

    ICH habe bei meiner VMware View Architektur das problem, dass ich beim Verbinden uber den View Client nur das Protokoll RDP use kann. DAS will work wunderbar. As soon as ich aber das PCoIP Protokoll auswahle, kommt also Fehlermeldung beim Verbinden:

    Dieser Office steht zurzeit nicht available. Try later Rubis, eine connection Sie mit diesem herzustellen office, oder wenden Sie sich an your Systemadministrator.

    ICH use VMware View 4.6, mit zugehorigem vCenter Server und connection to the server. Alles ist auf dem could Stand. Am is nicht mit einem Security Server. Lafut're too im trainee alles Moment.

    Hat eine idea, wo yesterday someone das problem konnte liegen? Habe ich vergessen oder please konfiguriert something?

    ICH würde mich freuen, wenn einen Losungsansatz had someone.

    OK, so I ran it through a translator and got the below.

    People in the back, I have the problem with my VMware View architecture that I can use the minutes RDP with the connection by the Client to view only. Will work wonderfully. As soon as I select the PCoIP minutes however, the following error message is delivered with connection: this office is not available at the present time. Try again later connection with this desktop computer or contact your system administrator. I use VMware View 4.6 with partner vCenter server and connecting to the server. Everything is on the latest terms. I'm not however with a security server. It lafut so for now everything in-house. Virtual machines, on which I connect run me with Win 7 x 64 does anyone have an idea, the problem could lie where here? A I forgot something or configured incorrectly? I would be happy, if someone had a solution. Greetings

    So, it sounds like RDP works but you are having problems with PCOIP and everything is internal.    Have you checked that PCOIP is not blocked by any firewall?  It uses the port 4172 so make sure that you unlock that.    Also is this a problem with this particular machine or all of your machines?

  • Deleting events in VMware View administrator

    Hello

    How can I remove events in the administrator of the display (here I have the version 4.6)?

    Due to a configuration problem now I have the same error over 3,000 events, and I'd be happy if I can delete them.

    Kind regards

    André

    You might be able to delete directly from SQL, using the events and event_data tables in the case of database.   I found th informaton below on page 10 of the guide to integration of VMware View.  I want to backup my database of events before performing any manipulation.

    VMware View provides details on all tables of database events. After a certain period of time elapsed

    Since writing to event record, VMware View deletes the record of the event, and event_data tables. You can

    Administrator display allows you to configure the period for which the database maintains a register to the event and

    tables of event_data. See the

  • personalization operation timed out VMware View 4.5

    I'm quite new to Vmware view and this is my first time setting up, please bare with me.

    I get the above error when trying to automatically create a related pool.

    I also spent review the previous post that says abot ensuring that:

    • DHCP is enable on the master image
    • VMware view agent is installed
    • VMware tools is installed
    • The firewall is disabled

    The new virtual machines are created and when I connect to Vsphere is to see that they connect to the field, receive IP from the DHCP server. But I don't see their name in my DNS.

    I hope to have provided enough information and you will appreciate any help.

    To the first just nslookup query, and check whether or not the host of clones name is resolved. Also select al virtual machines to see the Administrator page and perform a reset and see<--  if="" both="" these="" actions="" resolve="" your="" issue="" then="" it="" was="" due="" to="" a="" minor="" network="" outage="" happened="" during="" the="" provisioning="">

    Otherwise,.

    1. If the DNS server is a server active directory integrated one or not? If this is not the case, check the permission to register for this DNS server.

    2. the question of whether the DNS entry received from the DHCP server to clone is directed to the right DNS server? and same DNS / domain name cannot be resolved vcenter server?

    3. have you used Sysprep customization? If Yes, be aware that the domain setting is not levied custom specification but DNS settings will be taken from custom spec. In this case the definition given in the spec custom DNS should resolve the field added in vcenter configuration Admin display page
