Configuring VMware

VMware virtualization enables you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. VMware Horizon Client is a locally installed software application that communicates between View Connection Server and the thin client operating system. It provides access to centrally hosted virtual desktops from your thin clients.

In every ThinOS release, the VMware Horizon Client version may get updated to a newer version. You must upgrade the VMware Horizon package along with the ThinOS firmware. VMware Horizon package versions have a dependency on the ThinOS firmware versions. See the Release Notes of your ThinOS version at www.dell.com/support to know the corresponding VMware Horizon package version.

From ThinOS 2205, you can use touch screen gestures in both remote desktop and application sessions. Both full-screen mode and window mode support touch screen functionality. You can also use touch screen with the VMware Horizon Client user interface. Swiping down the screen, touch screen gestures, and multi-touch are not supported. If you enable relative mouse, the touch screen functionality may not work properly.

For information about the latest VMware Horizon Client version and the known issues, see the Release Notes of your ThinOS version at www.dell.com/support.

NOTE:If you are upgrading your thin client to the latest ThinOS version, you must ensure that the Horizon server or agent version is updated to support the latest Horizon client version. For more information about the client and server/agent version compatibility, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices page at www.vmware.com.
