Hi All,


I’ve got some questions that someone may be able to help with around the
configuration of Capture-HPC and any  restrictions on it's use.


- Does Capture-HPC have the ability to run multiple types of Client VMs on a
single VMWare host? i.e. one group of 3 VM's of Windows XP SP2, and another
group of 2 VM's with Windows XP SP3 at the same time? And have them all
report back to the single Capture-HPC Server?


 -  Does a single Capture-HPC Server support controlling Capture-HPC clients
on more than one VMWare server? i.e. If we have Capture-HPC client VMs
running on 4 separate ESXi hosts will one instance of Capture-HPC Server
handle controlling them all? Will the MySQL database support getting data
from these instances?


- Can I run some URL's through Internet Explorer, and some other's through
Firefox, and some other's through Acrobat Reader, but all from within the
same VM image? i.e. If a Capture-HPC Client VM image has firefox and Adobe
Acrobat reader installed on it, can I instruct Capture-HPC to open all URL's
ending in .pdf from within acrobat, and all .swf files in Internet Explorer,
and all the rest in Firefox?



-  Next question – in the Capture-HPC Server Readme.txt, Christian talks
about different vm’s and same vm’s as part of the explanation in the
‘same_vm_revert_delay’ and ‘different_vm_revert_delay’. Do you know what
he’s meaning with those two settings? Does it mean that I can run different
client VM’s on the same VMWare host? Or is it that I can run different
Client VM’s on different VMWare hosts? Or some other explaination?



- Next – if I supply the list of urls to test to the command line, I know
that Capture-HPC logs which URL’s it has processed. I also know that if I
want to supply a new list of URL’s I can do that easily by supplying a new
file. Now, if I instead use the new database way of introducing URL’s, does
Capture-HPC server clear out those URL’s from that url table itself, or do I
need to clear it out? Is the list of URL’s supposed to stay in the database
and the table  just keep growing? Or is the URL ‘lifed’ so that after a
certain length of time the url will be removed from the url table (if it
hasn’t been check in X days)



- And finally, is there a way of selecting the snapshot that the Capture-HPC
Server reverts the client back to? Or is it always the last one that was
made for that virtual machine?


Thanks


Terry MacDonald
