Setting Description
Configure the PCoIP
session bandwidth
floor
Specifies a lower limit, in kilobits per second, for the bandwidth that is reserved by the
PCoIP session.
This setting configures the minimum expected bandwidth transmission rate for the
endpoint. When you use this setting to reserve bandwidth for an endpoint, the user does not
have to wait for bandwidth to become available, which improves session responsiveness.
Make sure that you do not over-subscribe the total reserved bandwidth for all endpoints.
Make sure that the sum of bandwidth floors for all connections in your configuration does
not exceed the network capability.
The default value is 0, which means that no minimum bandwidth is reserved. When this
setting is disabled or not configured, no minimum bandwidth is reserved.
This setting applies to the agent and the client, but the setting only affects the endpoint on
which it is configured.
When this setting is modified during an active PCoIP session, the change takes effect
immediately.
Configure the PCoIP
session MTU
Specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for UDP packets for a PCoIP session.
The MTU size includes IP and UDP packet headers. TCP uses the standard MTU discovery
mechanism to set MTU and is not affected by this setting.
The maximum MTU size is 1500 bytes. The minimum MTU size is 500 bytes. The default
value is 1300 bytes.
Typically, you do not have to change the MTU size. Change this value if you have an
unusual network setup that causes PCoIP packet fragmentation.
This setting applies to the agent and the client. If the two endpoints have different MTU size
settings, the lowest size is used.
If this setting is disabled or not configured, the client uses the default value in the
negotiation with the agent.
Running Horizon Client from the Command Line
You can run Horizon Client for Windows from the command line or from scripts. You might want to do this
if you are implementing a kiosk-based application that grants end users access to desktop applications.
You use the vmware-view.exe command to run the Horizon Client for Windows from the command line. The
command includes options that you can specify to change the behavior of Horizon Client.
Horizon Client Command Usage
The syntax of the vmware-view command controls the operation of Horizon Client.
Use the following form of the vmware-view command from a Windows command prompt.
vmware-view [command_line_option [argument]] ...
The default path to the vmware-view command executable file depends on your system.
n
On 32-bit systems, the path is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\.
n
On 64-bit systems, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\.
For your convenience, add this path to your PATH environment variable.
The following table shows the command-line options that you can use with the vmware-view command.
