Appendix A: Using RGS with HP VDI 176
A-2-2 Modify the underlying ESX configuration (VM .vmx file)
The underlying virtual machine configuration file must be modified to support RGS and USB devices over the RGS
communication channel. Most values in this file can be set using the Virtual Center GUI. However, a few values
must be set by hand editing of the .vmx file for the virtual machine. Administrators may also use scripting to fully
automate this process.
The Virtual Infrastructure Client GUI for editing the VM configuration is shown in Figure A-1. Note that the virtual
machine named “xp-rgs5” is selected by a mouse right click and selecting “Edit Settings…” from the drop down
menu. Then click on the Options tab and select the Advanced line item.
