VM Client Preferences
A preferences file is created after the first time you use the PlateSpin
®
VM Client. This preferences
file contains locations for storing list data, such as successful logins, installation sources, and auto-
install files. Some preference settings are for debugging that you can use with the guidance of
Novell Support.
Following is an example of a preference file with default settings:
#Thu May 07 17:38:03 GMT 2009
Use\ Alpha=true
Login\ Info\ Sets\ Preference\
List=m1.zenworks.lab.novell.com;admin;ZOSCommunicator
Trace=false
Stale\ Update=true
Auto\ Update=true
Show\ Edit\ Running\ VM\ Warning=true
eclipse.preferences.version=1
Show\ Part\ Menu=false
To prevent issues with the VM Client from not working properly, you should contact Novell Support
for help when you edit the preferences file.
However, there is one preference setting that you can change yourself. When you open a dialog box,
the VM Client window becomes somewhat transparent, which can cause display issues in Windows
(but not Linux) while using
VNC to view a VM or host server machine’s command line or desktop,
or when using a Web casting software to view or interact with the VM Client that is running on
another machine. This transparency is controlled by the
Use\ Alpha=true
setting. By default,
transparency is set to be in effect (True). You should change
true
to
false
before using VNC or a
Web casting software program so that viewing is in a non-transparent mode.
To edit the preferences file:
1
If you have not yet opened and exited the VM Client for the first time, do the following to
establish the preferences file; otherwise, go to
Step 2 :
1a (Conditional) Install the VM Client.
For instructions, see “
Installing the Orchestrate VM Client ” in the PlateSpin Orchestrate
2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide .
1b
Open the VM Client.
For instructions, see
Section 2.1, “Starting and Logging In to the VM Client Interface,” on
page 15 .
This initializes the preference file settings.
1c Exit the VM Client.
This causes the
com.novell.vnos.prefs
file to be created on the machine where you
installed the client.
2 Make a backup copy of the
com.novell.vnos.prefs
file.
You might need this backup copy in Step 5b .
