EndSection
Changes made to the Monitor Properties files require that you regenerate all the SVA X Config
Files on all the cluster nodes. See Section 3.1.2.3.2 for how to do this.
3.1.2.3.2 Regenerate the X Config Files
You need to regenerate the X Config Files when you do either of the following:
• Add to the supported resolutions in the Site Configuration File. These are changes to the
tag values for SVA_SUPPORTED_STEREO_RESOLUTIONS or
SVA_SUPPORTED_RESOLUTIONS.
• Change any of the monitor properties in the Monitor Properties files:
DefaultStereo.monitor or DefaultMono.monitor. These include refresh rate ranges
and any modeline changes.
To update the SVA Config Files with the latest changes, use root privileges from the head node
to enter the following command:
# pdsh -a sva_install_xconfig
3.1.2.4 Define a Stereo Display Surface
The information in this section supplements the information in the SVA System Administration
Guide on how to create a Display Surface.
Most of the time, users of the cluster do not need to think about the stereo or mono characteristics
of a Display Surface. However, when creating a stereo Display Surface, the system administrator
needs to specify whether a Display Surface is capable of mono only, or mono and stereo, as well
as and its stereo mode. This information depends on what display hardware is in use.
As of Patch Kit 2, the definition of a Display Surface in the SVA Site Configuration File (see the
HP SVA System Administration Guide) can contain an SVA_STEREO_MODE tag and value. This tag
can indicate whether the Display Surface is a conventional mono display only or a stereo-capable
and mono display. In addition, the tag indicates which of the supported NVIDIA stereo modes
the Display Surface should use. (If the SVA_STEREO_MODE tag is absent from the Display Surface
definition in the Site Configuration File, the Display Surface defaults to a mono display mode.)
The Patch Kit 2 stereo software support lets you provide site-specific stereo information
subsequent to the installation of HP SVA or a patch kit. Administrators can use the Display
Surface Configuration Tool to create new stereo-capable Display Surfaces, or to change the default
stereo configuration values of existing Display Surfaces.
