HP PC Session Allocation Manager

(SAM) Administrator User Guide

Document Part Number: 416323-001

March 2006

This guide is intended to help an administrator set up and successfully

manage the HP PC Session Allocation Manager (SAM). The target

audience is the person who administers a CCI infrastructure, not the users

of such an environment. This guide assumes the administrator is familiar

with the HP CCI environment, and thus focuses specifically on providing

information related to setup and management of the HP SAM.

Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) solution from HP centralizes desktop computing

and storage resources into easily managed, highly secure data centers, while providing end users

the convenience and familiarity of a traditional desktop environment. Additionally, companies

have long used server-based computing (SBC) to create virtual instances of desktop applications

on a server that multiple remote users can access. HP’s CCI offers a new alternative for

virtualizing the desktop.

The HP PC Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) system becomes the control point in

managing a CCI deployment. Specifically, it manages the assignment of Microsoft Remote

Desktop connections from a user's access device (client) to Remote Desktop sessions (blade PC).

Whether the session is one that resides on a dedicated physical blade or one that resides together

with other sessions on a virtual hardware platform, the HP SAM system can make these desktop

sessions available to users as they are needed.

1.1.1 Key Features

■Allocation system to assign users to computing resources (blade PCs)

■Self-registration of computing resources (blade PCs)

■Simple management of users to desktop sessions provisioning

■Central management of client Remote Desktop settings with optional user override

■Follow-me roaming and persistence support for user sessions

■Usage and Capacity Planning reports

HP SAM is logically broken up into three areas:

■HP SAM client application running on a thin client or other access device

■HP SAM blade service running on a computing resource

■HP SAM server and SQL database

Introduction

1.1.2 How It Works (High Level Overview)

1. When a user on a client access device (desktop, notebook, thin client) requests a desktop

session, the HP SAM client sends a request to the HP SAM Web server.

a. HP SAM supports server failover, if configured to do so. If the HP SAM Web server

doesn't respond, the HP SAM client goes down the list to the next HP SAM Web server.

b. The HP SAM client sends the username and domain information to the HP SAM server.

2. The HP SAM Web server receives the username and domain from the HP SAM client. It

validates this information with the Microsoft Active Directory server. The account identified

by the username and domain must be valid and enabled in the Active Directory in order to

continue.

3. The HP SAM Web server returns the appropriate desktop session information to the HP

SAM client.

a. The HP SAM Web server checks its internal database to see what resources are available

and connects the user to an appropriate resource. Prior to assigning a resource to the user,

the SAM Web server determines whether or not the user still has a desktop session

running and, if so, reconnects the user to that same session (i.e., follow-me roaming).

b. The data returned to the HP SAM client would be a DNS name (or IP address, depending

on how it is configured on the HP SAM Web server.)

c. If no computing resource is available, the HP SAM client informs the user.

4. The HP SAM client connects to the appropriate desktop session.

5. The user is then prompted at the login screen for the password. The user name and domain is

prepopulated by the HP SAM client.

6. Once the user logs in, the HP SAM blade service on the computing resource reports back to

the HP SAM Web server.

Introduction

7. Once the user disconnects or logs out, the HP SAM blade service updates the HP SAM Web

server with the new information.

1.2 HP SAM Hardware and Software Requirements

1.2.1 HP SAM Web and SQL Server Requirements

HP SAM can be installed on one or more failover HP SAM Web servers with one central HP

SAM SQL database. It can also be installed on one server hosting both the HP SAM Web server

and SQL database.

1.2.1.1 HP SAM Web Server Hardware Requirements

Minimum:

x86-compatible server, such as an HP Proliant server with:

■Processor: Pentium 4, 1.0 GHz

■Hard drive: 10 GB (requires more if hosting both Web server and SQL database)

■System memory: 1 GB or more

Recommended:

The recommended configuration depends on the scale of deployment:

■Number of active users

■Number of computing resources (blade PCs)

■Geographic location and/or network architecture

■Fault tolerance decision

1.2.1.2 HP SAM Web Server Software Requirements

Minimum:

One of the following operating system must be installed:

■Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, with Service Pack 1 or higher

■Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, with Service Pack 1 or higher

✎Additionally, SSL must be configured on the HP SAM Web server (which includes installing a

certificate) to encrypt your password when you log into the HP SAM administrator console.

Introduction

1.2.1.3 HP SAM SQL Database Server Hardware Requirements

If you already have an existing SQL database server, the HP SAM database can be installed on

the same server. However, a separate dedicated HP SAM SQL database server for the HP SAM is

highly recommended to support future scaling of environment.

Minimum:

x86-compatible server, such as an HP Proliant server with:

■Processor: Pentium 4, 1.0 GHz

■Hard drive: 10 GB (requires more if running both Web server and SQL)

■System memory: 1 GB or more

Recommended:

The recommended configuration depends on the scale of deployment:

■Number of active users

■Number of computing resources (blade PCs)

■Geographic location and/or network architecture

■Fault tolerance decision

1.2.1.4 HP SAM SQL Database Server Software Requirements

Minimum:

■Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3a

✎SQL server mixed mode authentication must be enabled.

1.2.2 HP SAM Blade Service Requirements

Hardware Requirements

■HP Blade PC

Software Requirements

■Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 or higher

■Terminal service enabled (Remote Desktop)

1.2.3 Client Access Device Requirements

1.2.3.1 Thin Client

Hardware Requirements

The HP SAM client may already be preinstalled on the HP thin clients. In this case, you just need

to configure the HP SAM client to connect to the appropriate HP SAM Web server. If the HP

SAM client is not preinstalled, then you must download and install it. The unit must have

HP SAM Administrator User Guide www.hp.com 1-5

Introduction

sufficient flash space to download, expand, and install the HP SAM client. This typically means

the thin client must have unused flash memory equaling at least 2.5 times (approximately 3 MB)

the size of the HP SAM client.

Software Requirements

One of the following operating systems:

■Windows XP Embedded

■Windows CE 5.0

1.2.3.2 Desktop or Notebook PC

Hardware Requirements

■Desktop or notebook PC

Software Requirements

One of the following operating systems:

■Windows XP

■Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or higher

1.2.4 Other Requirements

There are other requirements you must fulfill before you start the installation.

■“Create a Service Account” on page 1-5

■“Obtain Administrative Rights” on page 1-5

■“Change the Firewall” on page 1-6

■“Active Directory” on page 1-6

1.2.4.1 Create a Service Account

The HP SAM Web server needs to run under a domain user account in which it can execute the

HP SAM services on the local server.

■The account needs to be created prior to installation of the HP SAM server application.

■This account name and password should be changed as infrequently as possible to minimize

interruptions to HP SAM.

■The account must also be in the local server administrator group.

1.2.4.2 Obtain Administrative Rights

In order to fully install HP SAM, you must have the following administrative rights:

■Administrative rights on all computing resources (blade PCs)

■SQL administrative level account and password—only needed during setup

■Administrative rights on the HP SAM Web server

Introduction

1.2.4.3 Change the Firewall

If the network environment uses a hardware and/or software firewall, then you need to make

appropriate changes to the firewall for HP SAM to work. Refer to Appendix A, “Firewall Rules,”

for more details.

1.2.4.4 Active Directory

While Active Directory is not part of HP SAM, it is required for HP SAM to perform user

account management.
