advanced setup for multiple display channels

For multiple displays (up to 3 displays) multiple hp visualization center sv6 clusters can be combined to increase screen real estate.

Figure 2-15 Multiple Channel View

additional X server

An additional X server called the ‘head’ controls the other X servers. In addition to the master X server, the head X server is run on the ﬁrst master workstation listed in the /etc/X11/X0screens ﬁle. This simply adds one more layer to the X server hierarchy. The head X server controls the master X servers running on each 2D node. The master X servers control the slave X servers running on each 3D slave node. Notice in the following 8-pipe, 2 channel sample X0screens ﬁle, that each hp visualization center sv6 cluster has an ID associated with its 2D master node. A row, column order for the displays is also speciﬁed. Position the displays left to right top to bottom to match the row, column order you specify in this ﬁle.
