Working in FLR 267

In order to work on the labs from a machine in FLR 267, you need to launch an application called VMWare Horizon. This application will provide a virtual machine that has been configured to offer the same environment as the Windows machines in EMA 302 and EMA 304.

Here are the steps:

  1. Start the VMWare Horizon Client. (If you can’t find it on the Desktop, you should be able to search for it from the Windows start menu.)

  2. If you see a cloud icon labeled casitvdi1.bu.edu, double-click on it.

    If you do not see a cloud icon labeled casitvdi1.bu.edu, click the + symbol near the top of the window. When asked to enter the name of the Connection Server, type in casitvdi1.bu.edu and click Connect.

  3. Enter your BU email address in the form username@bu.edu and your Kerberos password, and click Login.

  4. Double-click on the icon labeled compsci. This should launch the virtual machine containing all of the software needed for the lab.

Important

Do not store any files directly on the virtual machine. Instead, you should store files that you want to retain on the Z: drive that is available from within the virtual machine. See the instructions in the lab writeups for more detail.
