I am not sure what he is talking about, Cisco Switches, VMWare and Hyper-V one needs to know the command line and I have personally experienced that the GUI does not work always. I wonder how he configured his switches via windows GUI I don't think so.

You could use SSH X forwarding. In this way you would connect only individual applications while using the local window manager. We use this to run CD burning software on a Linux machine. 2. You could use something like XNest. This will give you a session in a window. 3. You could run a VNC server on the Linux box and connect with any vnc viewer. 4. You could go for something like Nomachine X, which handles things like disconnected sessions and multimedia quiet well. 5. You could run SRSS directly on the Linux box. Perhaps setup separate FOGs for Solaris, Linux environments. Might want to play with AMGH. This will probably offer the best user experience. 2009/11/12 Chris Richardson <[email protected]>: > Hi guys i was wondering if it is possible to make a session connector > like the one used for windows to connect to a linux server? > _______________________________________________ > SunRay-Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users > -- Kind regards, John Francis ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:13:59 -0600 From: Seth Galitzer <[email protected]> To: SunRay-Users mailing list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] question about making a session connector to linux box Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I'm currently using Xnest to do this. It's good enough for a desktop, but you don't get any local hardware forwarding, so you lose USB and audio. If anybody has some insight on the NomachineX option (which I believe I looked at, but forget why I didn't use it), or other ideas, I'd be interested in them. Thanks.

I was thinking of upgrading three of the blades to 4 GB and putting them in a FOG. I could have them serve Linux or Solaris sessions. Between the three of them, I estimate that would serve about 20 Firefox/Email/OpenOffice sessions. Two more blades would make up a FOG dishing out VDI sessions. They'd probably cope with 50-100 of those I'm guessing. This leaves nine blades to run some VDI machines on there. My questions are: 1. Are my estimates of the capacity of this setup accurate? 2. What number of VDI virtual machines would the remaining blades be able to support? 3. What is a recommended way of handling storage? I was thinking of a decent capacity fileserver external to the BladeCenter running OSol and ZFS. The Linux or Solaris sessions would mount home directories there, and the virtual machines will mount their disks over iSCSI. Is going to perform reasonably given that it is a very low cost option. 4. Once the setup is up and running, how do I demonstrate that the capacity of the system is what I think it is. What sort of load testing strategies have people out there come up with, other than just throwing it into a live environment. -- Kind regards, John Francis ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:14:10 +1100 From: John Francis <[email protected]> To: SunRay-Users mailing list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] question about making a session connector to linux box Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Seth, 2009/11/12 Seth Galitzer <[email protected]>: > I'm currently using Xnest to do this. ?It's good enough for a desktop, but > you don't get any local hardware forwarding, so you lose USB and audio. ?If > anybody has some insight on the NomachineX option (which I believe I looked > at, but forget why I didn't use it), or other ideas, I'd be interested in > them. > For USB, you could get around that by exporting the directory where the mounts happen over NFS. As for the audio issue, you would have to look at playing with one of the network sound systems. I have never had much fun playing around with those. Like I was saying, for the richest possible experience, you'd want to see if you can run SRS directly on the host. There was a thread on this list a while back talking about AMGH which you'd probably find relevant. The more I think of it, SRS itself is the solution to the question that originally started this thread. > Thanks. > Seth > > John Francis wrote: >> >> Hi Chris, >> >> There are a number of ways of doing this. >> >> 1.

Run SRSS on Linux. It is supported on RHEL 5. CentOS is binary compatible with RHEL: http://www.centos.org/ I'm sounding like a broken record now, so I think I'll just lay off this thread. > Thanks so much for your time and input > > > On 11/11/09, John Francis <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Seth, >> >> 2009/11/12 Seth Galitzer <[email protected]>: >>> I'm currently using Xnest to do this. ?It's good enough for a desktop, but >>> you don't get any local hardware forwarding, so you lose USB and audio. >>> ?If >>> anybody has some insight on the NomachineX option (which I believe I >>> looked >>> at, but forget why I didn't use it), or other ideas, I'd be interested in >>> them. >>> >> >> For USB, you could get around that by exporting the directory where >> the mounts happen over NFS. >> >> As for the audio issue, you would have to look at playing with one of >> the network sound systems. ?I have never had much fun playing around >> with those. ?Like I was saying, for the richest possible experience, >> you'd want to see if you can run SRS directly on the host. ?There was >> a thread on this list a while back talking about AMGH which you'd >> probably find relevant. >> >> The more I think of it, SRS itself is the solution to the question >> that originally started this thread. >> >>> Thanks. >>> Seth >>> >>> John Francis wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi Chris, >>>> >>>> There are a number of ways of doing this. >>>> >>>> 1.
