You want to update your current laptop or buy a new one for use with Citrix XenClient? There is no better time than now to visit the XenClient Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), to find new device.As version 2.0 XenClient, we have collaborated with AMD to provide support for the Radeon ™ 6470M HD and FirePro ™ M5950 graphics solutions. These graphics solutions have already been supported on several platforms of Hewlett-Packard.
We are pleased to say that with a recent update, support was extended to the Dell Precision platforms to include the M60 and M6400.
supported Dell devices can be found on page HCL link above. Not only the updated Dell to expand platform support and expand the XenClient HCL, it also addresses problems reported with multi-screen and system power management
A couple of points before going through the installation steps :.
- If you always use XenClient 2.0, please upgrade to the latest version 2.1 is on the XenClient Download page.
If you have already installed your virtual machines (VM) please make sure you have all of the virtual machine off before installing the packages. Now let's walk through the steps to install the updates for your XenClient supports AMD graphics platform
- Note :. In addition to the two update packages provided above, the source file for ioemu file is also provided on the download link
the source file is :.
- ioemu-src_git-r8017-xc.7430.556.31.5_all.ipk
1. Download both the packaging of files necessary to upgrade from from here and copy them to the root of a USB device. Both packages are
a. amd-plugin_2.02-r0.xc7.5_i686core2.ipk
i. AMD carrier expands to include the Dell devices mentioned above
b. ioemu_git-r8017-xc.7430.556.31.5_i686core2.ipk
i. Fixes a problem with multi-screen and power managment
2. Plug the drive into one of the USB ports available on the platform you want to upgrade.
3. Citrix Receiver for XenClient screen (Figure 1), open a terminal session by entering the following keys and enter the password you created during installation of XenClient.
a. CTRL-SHIFT-T (Opens Terminal window, Figure 2).
4. once you are connected, at the command line prompt, enter the command (Figure 3).
a. fdisk
This will display a list of storage devices on the system. Identify the device ID is assigned to your USB device. In our example, it is bathroom and the only score he is sdb1 (Figure 4).
(Note that on your system it could be different depending on what devices might be present. to ensure that you select the appropriate device, search for information that describes your USB device. in our example, we have a USB 8GB. in the output of fdisk, 8036 MB is a good indicator of this being the USB.)
5. Now we will use the following command to create a directory for our connected USB device earlier in step 2 (Figure5).
a. mkdir / mnt / usb
6. Now we will mount our camera in the directory created using the following command (Figure 6)
a. Mount / dev / sdb1 / mnt / usb
7. Now that we have mounted our device, we can install our first package. The following command will install and update the AMD plugin package (Figure 7).
a. opkg install / mnt / usb / amd-plugin_2.02-r0.xc7.5_i686core2.ipk
8. with the AMD package updated, we will now install the second package. The following command updates the ioemu package (Figure8).
a. opkg install / mnt / usb / ioemu_git-r8017-xc.7430.556.31.5_i686core2.ipk
9. Now that we have updated and installed the two packages we'll need to reboot the system. The following command will reboot the system from the terminal window (Figure 9 and Figure 10).
a. restart
Congratulations on your update, you should now be able to harness the power of your AMD graphics.
