NOTE: If RGS is the communication protocol, when multiple monitors are attached to the access
device, this value is ignored and spanning is enabled by default.
For more information about RGS, refer to your Remote Graphics Software documentation.
Deploying the HP SAM Client Application
Various methods are available to deploy the client application to multiple access devices. Following are
two examples:
●
Use software deployment tools like HP Rapid Deployment Pack.
a. Install the client application (scw32-xx ##.msi), where xx is the language code and ## is the
software version number.
b. Update the client configuration file to work with HP SAM (see customization steps above).
●
Post the scw32-xx ##.msi and hprdc.sam file on a Web site or fileshare, and then instruct the
users to:
a. Download and install the client software (scw32-xx ##.msi).
b. Place the config file (hprdc.sam) on the desktop. Double-click the HP SAM icon to start the
client.
NOTE: If a firewall is installed, make appropriate changes to allow the HP SAM client through. Do this
at the application level instead of the port.
Deploy the HP SAM Registration Service to All HP SAM
Computing Resources
For high volume deployment, HP highly recommends that you use a software tool such as HP Rapid
Deployment Pack.
1. Install the service on all computing resources.
2. Create the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) on a single blade and save
this file as a template to use later.
3. Start or restart service on a single computing resource and verify that the computing resource self-
registered into the HP SAM Web server.
4. Deploy the HP SAM registration service configuration file (hpevent.cfg) to all appropriate computing
resources and start the service on those units.
Deploy HP SAM Client Software to All HP SAM Access
Devices
To deploy the HP SAM Internet Explorer-based client, instruct your users to go to the HP SAM server
Web site(s) that you have set up.
