VDI Early Access - Starting Desktops

I'm playing around with VDI Early Release 3 trying to get it to work.
I've set the whole thing up and now managed to import a windows XP virtual machine. I've assigned a user to the desktop, and still under the vdi webadmin page in the pool section, ive come to try and start the virtual machine and get the following errors:
START_VB_DESKTOP
This error seems to fail immediatly, and when clicking on this test I get the following information in the job details section:
Registering of desktop WindowsXP Pro failed on host 192.168.0.20
192.168.0.20 is the vdi host
I also get a second message which reads
Starting Desktop WindowsXP Pro
This job seems to run for a minute before failing with the following text in the job description section:
Error changing desktop state:com.sun.vda.service.api.ServiceException: Registering of desktop WindowsXP Pro failed on host 192.168.0.20.
Is something that I'm doing worng ?

Memo to self - make sure you fully read the installation instructions before posting to Forums.
The error was generated becasue I hadnt installed the VBox Guest Tools !!
Sorry.

VDI Early Access - Importing Virtual Machines

I'm playing around with the new V3 early access release of VDI. Everying is fine however I'm getting stuck at one point.
I've created the new virtual machine and moved them to /var/tmp. I've then gone to import them into the VDI host, however each time I try and do this it seems to fail straight away. There doesnt immediatly seem to be any way of checking to see why its failed.
It made the connection with the ZFS server ok, and I can transfer files between the two ok.
I've followed the instrcutions for setting up a demo to the letter of the law, including giving the host memory the necessary swap space etc.
Is there anywhere I should be looking, or can anyone give any help.

Host is a quad core Intel 6600, so is 64 bit.
The ZFS server runiing opensolaris 2008.11 with SUNWiscsi and SunWiscsitgt installed (i did this through the package manager and not the CLI as shown . The ZFS server is only a 2GHZ Pentium 4 - does the ZFS server have to be a certain spec.
I've also installed VDI aware VirtualBox package that came with V3 early release. This is on the same machine that i'm running VDI on - is this ok as I see in the instructions that it talks about moving the vdi and xml images to the host system.
I was trying to import an opensolaris VM. Does this make any difference - can it only be windows or a linux guest as I see that these are the only ones supported.
Now I know where to look for the logging I will see if its giving me any clues as to what is happening.

Tnx!!
Small, but important changes: now working with Cisco ASA 5500 VPN (no more downgrade to 4.0 f/w version), working great with a static IP (no VPN phase 2 hang). For now new firmware connecting throw VPN to corporate SRSS 4.1 without any problem.
Keep testing with OSol 2009.06 (2010.02 /dev). Next step - check new (and VERY VERY important) USB redirection features! Next step - testing within (officially supported) Solaris 10 5/09 - any way, its not so interesting. If it is interesting to somebody and not prohibited by EA Program rules - i'll keep blogging about all-around-new-sunray-software :)
Again, thank you!

SGD VDI vCenter problem accessing multiple desktops simultaneously

Hi,
I am using vCenter as a desktop provider and have created multiple flexible desktop pools in VDI. These desktops pools are then assigned to users in SGD. When accessing these desktops simultaneously through SGD either SGD or VDI gets confused and opens up the wrong desktop. When i open the first desktop from SGD it opens up the correct VM then when i open up another desktop (from a different pool) it opens up the desktop from my previous desktop pool. The name on the Java Window in which the desktop opens up corresponds to the name of the application pool i intend to open however the VM that I login to is from a different pool. I can verify from vCenter that the desktops in the various pools are correct.
Is it not possible to access multiple desktops from different pools simultaneously or is there something that is possibly setup incorrectly? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
The versions of SGD/VDI/VCenter are:
SGD Version: 4.5; Build: 20091119205307
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.2.1 (Build 11)
vCenter Server 4.1.0 258902
ESX Server 4.1.0 26047
Thanks.

Corrupt font book & spinning wheel of death means I can't access my desktop! HELP!!!

I hope someone can help as this is driving me CRAZY!!!
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and earlier installed some fonts to font book - which appears to have corrupted the font book. I am frozen out of my desktop. I can ONLY log in using safe boot to access my desktop. If I try my usual log in, all I get is the spinning wheel of death!!! Aargghhh!! It's proving a problem as I can't access any of my servers using the safe boot.
Really hope someone can help!!
Thanks,
Lee

What BDAqua said. Get those crummy fonts you added off the drive. At least one of them must be so bad that's it's corrupting RAM every time the system tries to load it.
A Safe Mode boot removes the user cache files of the account you log into in Safe Mode, and clears Font Book's database. Normally, that would allow you to restart normally since Font Book's database is not rebuilt until you launch Font Book. That you can't even get that far means you have some really BAD fonts.
Boot into Safe Mode again. Make a new folder on the desktop and move all of the fonts you added out of the /Library/Fonts/ folded, or the Fonts folder of your user account. Whichever one you put them in.
Now you should be able to startup normally.

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

As you can see, the exception will be thrown when we try to initialize our Service class which uses the Service(java.net.URL paramURL, javax.xml.namespace.QName paramQName) constructor of the javax.xml.ws.Service class.
The problem exists only in case of Java Web Start and since Java 8u40. The exception will not be thrown if I start our application in eclipse.
Is this a known bug? I haven't found a related bug in the bug-database.
Thanks in advance!

Am I the only one with that problem?

Early Access File Syncing

I have received an email message advising that I have been given early access to the Files syncing feature of the Adobe CC application.
However, clicking on the Files tab does not show a workable interface, only the old "Coming Soon" statement. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the CC application onto my Apple MacPro, but clicking on the "Files" tab does not show a window that looks like anything shown on the FAQ sample page discussing the file sharing function.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hallo Vikas,
First of all, to answer your question, yes, I only have one Adobe ID.
The problem has been solved, since the Files tab in my Adobe CC application started functioning normally yesterday.
Thanks for looking into this.
Regards,
Larry.

I receive a notice saying my early access to synchro is OK. But it's not-

I restart my computer, nothing changes. What do I have to do to get my synchro and access to the fonts ?

Hi Psycho(PAT),
Have you already applied for early access and received a conformation email from Adobe. If yes sign out and sing in back to CC desktop.

Anyone know when SRSS5 (4.2?) is coming out? Funny I came across SRSS5 today, as just this morning we began research in what it would take to move to LTSP. We have entire departments running off SRSS4.1 on RHEL5. This has been a pretty good solution but Sun insists on keeping SRSS for Linux a poor product when compared to it on Solaris. Things like sound, USB thumb drives, etc are implemented TERRIBLY on their linux software (if at all).
I'd be willing to give SRSS5 a shot if it became available soon. Even a time frame (like end of 2009, spring 2010, etc) would help.
