  • NICE DCV (without GPU)
  • DCV Session Manager Broker
  • DCV Session Manager Agent
  • DCV Session Manager Gateway

The script can be directly downloaded here: Script: Automatic Installation of the DCV Session Manager Broker and Agent on RH8/CentOS 8 and Derivatives. If you need support for other operating systems the script can be easily adapted to install other binaries or we can help with – just let us know. This script is also available from our DCV Session Manager page: Automatic Installation of the DCV Session Manager Broker and Agent on RH8/CentOS 8 and Derivatives.

NICE DCV Dynamic Console Sessions

The standard approach for NICE DCV Console sessions is to have a session statically created for a specific user. In some cases it is preferred to enable users to connect to NICE DCV and dynamically be able to use the DCV Console Session.

To implement this we automatically create a console sessions for a specific standard user and set the maximal number of connection to the DCV console session to 1 so no other user can connect and allow all users to connect to the session in the permissions file.

Here is the NI SP Guide how to enable Dynamic DCV Console Sessions.
