hello all, the Sun Virtual Desktop Access Kit for VMware, Version 1.0 is available for download from Sun's download area: http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=45cbdfb5
"The Virtual Desktop Access Kit for VMware is the glue for linking a managed Virtual Desktop environment delivered through VMware VI 3 (VDI) and the Desktop Infrastructure components delivered by Sun, namely Sun Secure Global Desktop (SSGD) and Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS). The Access Kit manages the lifecycle of Windows XP or Windows 2000 based virtual machines, also called Virtual Desktops. This includes the Virtual Desktop creation, startup and shutdown (or suspension). The VDA Kit is also responsible for establishing the communication between desktop environment and access tier (SSGD + SRSS). This communication is based on Microsoft RDP supported both by SSGD and SRSS. The Access Kit encompasses 3 components that are installed on the different layers of the architecture: * VDA Tools for VMware: They are installed on the Guest OS inside the VM and deliver a more robust handling of the RDP connection. * VDA Service for VMware: This is a Windows service installed on the server hosting Virtual Center 2.x. It provides the control logic for managing the VM lifecycle. This component utilizes the VMware VI SDK. * VDA Client for VMware: The VDA Client is installed on the Access Tier (SGD or SRSS). It contacts the VDA Service to locate a VM based on a given identifier, like for example a User ID. Additionally the Access Kit for VMware delivers a couple of scripts that invoke the VDA Client. These scripts are responsible for establishing an RDP connection on behalf of SGD or SRSS." the full README is included in the Sun Virtual Desktop Access Kit for VMware download and additionally can be found at: http://www.sun-rays.org/lib/hardware/sunray/vda-1.0/README greetings, Stoyan Angelov _______________________________________________ SGD-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sgd-users
