Post OS-Installation Configurations

Following configurations should be done on Linux VDI servers:

Install Hypervisor Tools for Linux VDI as a VM

If the Linux VDI server is installed as a virtual machine running over hypervisor, install hypervisor tools on server.

Important

• For name and procedure of installation, refer hypervisor documentation.

• Make sure to install tools for Ubuntu-based VDI servers (i.e. Linux SHD server and Ubuntu-GNOME). Procedure for VMware and Hyper-V are listed below for ready reference.

• For installation of Linux SHD on physical servers, this step is not required.

Linux VDI on VMware

Install Open VM tools to support VMware functioning. Refer below KB article on how to install Open VM tools on Ubuntu: Install VMware Tools

Linux VDI on Microsoft Hyper-V or SCVMM Servers

1. Make sure internet is available on target Ubuntu VM

2. Open Terminal and execute below given commands:

   sudo apt-get clean

   sudo apt-get update

   sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-tools-\$(uname -r) linux-cloud-tools-\$(uname -r) -y

   sudo apt-get install -f

   sudo shutdown -h now

3. VM will powered off.

4. Once it is powered on, appropriate tool versions will be available on VM. To verify execute the following command

   ps -ef | grep hv

   1. Check the output, it should have appropriate process running for hv_kvp_daemon, hv_vss_daemon
