1 Introduction
GE has developed the Control Server platform to implement the use of virtual machines running various applications from a
server, in place of personal computers (PCs) each running the applications individually.
The Control Server platform is a set of rack mounted servers configured using hypervisor technology to support a number of
virtual machines that provide infrastructure and control. The servers are configured as a high availability system to provide
redundant operation.
The system has been designed to work with the Dell™ Wyse™ Thin Client Z50Qq. The Thin Client provides single, dual, or
quad monitor support for display flexibility. The user must connect to a VM, login, and then run the desired application. For
information on how to configure and download the Thin Client, refer to the Control Server Dell Wyse SUSE Linux Thin Client
HMI System Secure Deployment Guide (GEH-6843).

3 Troubleshooting
3.1 Thin Client Will Not Boot Up
Momentarily pressing the power button on the Thin Client applies power to the Thin Client and starts the boot sequence. The
power button light remains illuminated and the monitor displays the progress during the boot sequence.

3.1.1 Thin Client Power Button Will Not Illuminate


If the power button light does not illuminate when pressed, verify that the power supply is plugged in to the Thin Client, and
that the power supply source plug is plugged into an outlet or power strip that has power. If power is applied to the power
supply and it is plugged in to the Thin Client, unplug the power supply from the Thin Client and verify the correct power
supply voltage. If the power supply voltage is incorrect, the power supply is most likely bad. If the power supply voltage is
correct, the problem is most likely a hardware failure in the Thin Client, and the Thin Client may need to be replaced.

3.1.2 Thin Client Monitor Will Not Display


If the power button remains illuminated but there is no display on the monitor, verify that the monitor is plugged in to the
Thin Client and the correct source is selected on the monitor. Try a different monitor to verify that the monitor is not the
source of the problem. If the Thin Client is unable to drive a working monitor, there may be a failure in the Thin Client
hardware. Contact a maintenance engineer to perform further troubleshooting and / or replace the Thin Client.

3.1.3 Boot Sequence Will Not Complete


If the boot sequence is displayed on the monitor but never completes, there is a problem with the Thin Client that requires
reloading the Thin Client firmware or replacing the Thin Client. Contact the System Administrator.

Troubleshooting GEH-6841A User Guide 27


For public disclosure
3.2 User Unable to Log In to Thin Client
If the login to the Thin Client fails, contact the System Administrator to verify that the Username, Domain, and Password are
correct.

Example of Log In Failure


If the login is unsuccessful with the correct credentials, go to the section Loss of Thin Client Network Connection to find and
fix a potential network connection problem. Contact the System Administrator if the login fails with valid credentials and the
Thin Client network connection is active.

3.3 Loss of Thin Client Network Connection


Most Thin Client functionality depends on its connection to the PDH. The Thin Client displays the following icon (with the
white-on-red 'X') in the status tray in the lower right pane of the Computer bar when it has lost its network connection.

The Thin Client displays connection icon with the


white-on-red 'X' to indicate connection failure .

If the white-on-red 'X' icon is displayed, the Thin Client has lost its connection to the PDH. Verify that the network cable is
plugged in to the Thin Client. If the network cable is connected and the problem persists, the problem could be in the Thin
Client or a network issue. Contact the System Administrator.

3.4 Unable to Power Down Thin Client


The Thin Client should always be powered down using the shutdown procedure described in the previous section. However,
in situations where the Thin Client may be hung up and will not shut down from the system command, or other issues prevent
logging in to the Thin Client, press and hold the power button until the power button light goes out. This forces a power down
of the Thin Client.

Glossary of Terms
Domain Controller (DC) A domain controller is a server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in,
checking permissions, and so forth) within a Windows® domain.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a protocol used to
automatically assign and manage dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer
network.

Hypervisor Platform A hypervisor platform is a physical server that can support the work of several virtual machines. Each
of these virtual machines can potentially have a different operating system and/or purpose. The Control Server provides this
functionality using the VMware vSphere® Hypervisor (ESXi) application. All three servers (HS1, HS2 and MC2) are
configured to use ESXi. Refer to the table VMware Documentation for links to obtain additional information.

Initialization (INI) Initialization is the assignment of an initial value for a data object or variable.

PC-over-IP Protocol (PCoIP) PCoIP is a remote display protocol for delivering remote desktops and applications.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Remote Desktop Protocol is a proprietary protocol, which provides a user with a
graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection.

Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Remote Desktop Services allows a user to operate a virtual machine over a network
connection.

Host Server HS1 This is one of the servers in the cluster used to run VMs. With the High Availability option VMs are able
to migrate across servers in the cluster.

Host Server HS2 This is one of the servers in the cluster used to run VMs. With the High Availability option VMs are able
to migrate across servers in the cluster.

Terminal Services (TS) was renamed Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R2. (Refer to Remote Desktop
Services.)

Thin Client A Thin Client is a purpose-built PC with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and an Ethernet connection to the plant
network (PDH), whose primary function is to provide an access point to hosts running within the system. A host can be a VM
running on a server, a standalone PC, or any device that acts as a host for a protocol that the Thin Client can support. For
example, the Thin Client can connect to standalone Windows PCs or Windows-based Virtual Machines running on a server
using RDP or PCoIP™ client software. Another example would be using a web browser on the Thin Client to connect to a
web server, Virtual Machine, or any device that may be publishing web pages. The Thin Clients are configured by the System
Administrator to provide a predefined set of host connections, based on the user account that is used to log into the Thin
Client. Some user accounts may be allowed access to a limited set of hosts within the system, while other user accounts may
have access to a greater number of hosts.

Virtual Machine (VM) A virtual machine is an emulation of a particular computer system. Virtual machines operate based
on the computer architecture and functions of a real or hypothetical computer, and their implementations may involve
specialized hardware, software, or a combination of both.
