HP SVA V2.1 System Administration Guide

To list existing Display Surfaces, enter the List Display Surfaces option. Output from the
Site Configuration File appears. For example:
Current Display Surfaces are:
display_a, display_b, display_c, display_d, display_e, display_f, display_g
To get information on a specific Display Surface, choose the Print Display Surface
Information option. For example, you might see the following information for a 2x2 sample
Display Surface:
Name : ds2x2
Width : 2
Height: 2
Tiles : 4
Per Node Geometry: 1x1
The display surface will look like the diagram below.
+----+----+

1 => svaopt15
2 => svaopt11
3 => svaopt13
4 => svaopt12
Stereo Mode: This is not a stereo enabled surface.
To delete a Display Surface, choose the Delete Display Surfaces option. A prompt
requesting an existing Display Surface appears. After you enter the name of an existing Display
Surface, the Display Surface Tool deletes it from the Site Configuration File. You can no longer
access it for visualization jobs.
2.3.2.1 Create a Display Surface
To create a new Display Surface, specify the display block configurations that you want to use
to make up the Display Surface. Enter the host name of the display node that maps to (outputs)
each display block. Check the cabling to determine the right display node to enter.
In the case of Display Surfaces that require multiple display blocks, you must also specify the
orientation of the display blocks relative to one another.
For example, assume you want to create a Display Surface like display_b listed in Table 2-2
using the available display blocks also listed in Table 2-2. This is a Display Surface with display
blocks assembled to create a 2 W x 1 H Display Surface configuration with the second display
block oriented to the right of the first display block as shown in Figure 2-5. Each of the two
display blocks has a 1 W x 1 H configuration; that is, maps to a single display device (tile).
