How to connect to multiple View Connection servers

[flipster]

Hi,

I'm using an HP mobile thin laptop running Windows embedded to connect to multiple connection servers. I can successfully conenction to one Connection server. When I try to open a second instance of the View Client, I would like to connect to a different connection server.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks,

If you can create a BAT file or run cmd you can use the command line:

Andrew,

Thanks for the response. Where can I find more info on the switches that you provided?

Also, I'm running a View 4.6 environment.

Andrew,

When I run the following command, I can connect to one of my conenction servers:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin>wswc.exe -serverurl connectionserverA

When I try the following connection, I am presented with the list of desktops that I am entitled to on connectionserverA:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin>wswc.exe -serverurl connectionserverB

Thoughts/ideas?

Thanks

Try to write the URL with https://connserverB/ format.

The two connection servers are really different? Or maybe are on the same infrastructure?

Hi,

Connecting to multiple connection servers from a View Client simultaneously is not supported.

There is a way to do it using -standalone option but its not an officially supported one.

We use Network Load Balancing on on connection servers:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771300(WS.10).aspx

It allows us to round robin through connection servers. We use the cluster header IP address as our connection server address instead of an individual connection server. However it requires some NIC changes, and IP address changes. Might be too much change if you're just trying to test something.
