SUNDE VDI solution is achieved by running desktop virtualization software vPoint together with
Virtualization software like VirtualBox. It does not require any third party VDI software or GPU
hardware acceleration, but only needs SUNDE-VDI protocol, which is part of SUNDE VDI solution.
Now users can experience perfect, smoothest desktop virtualization with the help of SUNDE Diana,
a cloud terminal with only 5W power consumption.

cards to avoid the IP address conflict, then click Next:
70
Choose Full clone, and click Clone to start:
71
Clone start.
72
After the Clone finished, you can find the new virtual machine in the list:
73
VirtualBox export/import

After all these have been done, we still need to log on to the virtual machine to activate the newly
added virtual hard drive.
Start the virtual machine with newly added virtual hard drive. Click Start, Control Panel,
Administrative tools, then Computer management:
93
In the popup window, choose Disk Management:

The popup window shows Snapshot Name and you can also input some words as Snapshot
Description. Click OK to finish. Now you can see Snapshot 1 in the list:
106
When you finish the setting, there is a snapshot available:
107
After the Snapshot is done, we need to add back the removed virtual drive.
Just like the way we add second drive (data drive) to the virtual machines, we need to go to the
Settings, and then Storage. Here we need to click Choose existing disk:
108
Go to the folder, and add the virtual drive we have removed earlier:
109
110
to restore the
When the virtual machines suffer a system failure or corruption, we can click
snapshot. Remember, a newly restored virtual machine is of settings without the second hard drive. So
we need add back the second hard drive. Just follow the steps above to accomplish this.

Locked
This column shows whether this VM is in the control of vPoint or not. When the status is
Lock, we can click on it to unlock the VM from vPoint control. After that, the VM is
back to the control of VirtualBox Manager, thus we can use VirtualBox Manager to make
changes to the settings of VM or other maintenance work. When it is done, we can click
this column again to lock this VM to vPoint so that it can be available to Diana users.
Select
This column is used to make selection of VMs. Selected VMs can be powered off or
powered on (depending on their current status) by click on the VM Power On button or
VM Power Off button.
Reset
When a VM is crashed (blue screen, freezing, etc), we can click on Reset button to power
off it.

to them. The steps to create User are the same as those of creating administrator users. Right click
on Users. In the pop-up, choose New User:
118
When a User is created, choose the VM to be assigned to him in Machine(s) denied to be accessed
list, and then click on the
Normally, we only need to assign only one VM to one Diana user. Of cause, you can also assign
multiple VMs to a certain Diana user.
119
The vPoint service starts automatically when the operating system starts. If we create new virtual
machine, finish the setting of the virtual machine, we can click refresh button

124
After the import process finished, open VirtualBox Manager, you need to generate a new random
MAC address in the network setting for every virtual machine to avoid any possible IP address conflict.
125
After you generate a new MAC address, you can start the Virtual Machine and change the Computer
name in Virtual Machine:
126
127
Open the
At last, you need to set the VM name which the user can access, make sure the VMs have been created
in VirtualBox and listed in vPoint console, if this user can access more than one VM, the name can be
separate by comma, for example, Account1=user1;123; win71,win72,win73;,then user1 can access
