  • Page 2 ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 Graphics traffic to remote workstations The question has been asked, how is graphics data transmitted from the HP ProLiant xw460 Blade Workstation to remote workstations? Users may assume that since it is in a mezzanine slot, the graphics data goes to interconnect bays 3 and 4. However, there is no connection between the graphics mezzanine card and the interconnect slots;...

    ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 and continue to provide backward compatibility, although it is expected that almost all future discrete I/O devices, regardless of their bandwidth requirements, will be developed to the PCIe standard. HP has been a leader in the development and implementation of industry-standard I/O technology and continues to be a core member of the PCI Special Interest Group.
  • Page 5 ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 When port monitoring is enabled, a warning icon appears on the Virtual Connect Manager page, as shown in Figure 3-1. If port monitoring is configured and enabled within the Virtual Connect domain, Ethernet data from the monitored ports is replicated on the network analyzer port, for that reason it is important to verify the Network Analyzer is set up properly to avoid passing traffic back onto the network.

    ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 Licensing ports on the Brocade 4/12 SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem The Brocade 4/12 SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem is provided with 12 port licenses, two of which are pre-reserved for external ports.
  • Page 7 ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 If DPOD has been turned off, simply use the licensePort command to initiate it. NOTE For the Brocade 4Gb SAN switch, DPOD assigns a port license only when a server blade with HBA installed is inserted in the enclosure. A server blade without an active HBA will not prompt the switch to assign a port license.

  • Page 9 ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 Question #3________________________________________________________________________________ Q. Is it required to use a connection broker in a VDI environment? A. No. Many customers implement VDI without using a connection broker. The ability to hand an end user a dedicated resource may make sense in smaller environments, developer environments, and in Business-to-Business (B2B) connections.
  • Page 10 ISS Technology Update Volume 6, Number 9 Question #7________________________________________________________________________________ Q. Where is user data stored in a VDI environment? A. Administrators actually have a choice of where they can store end-user data in a VDI environment. It is possible, especially in non-brokered environments, to place user data within the virtual machine itself.
