Abstract
A mechanism for a virtual machine (VM) monitor display split using multiple client devices in a virtualization system is disclosed. A method of the invention includes receiving, by a remote access protocol server, resolution data of a monitor of a virtual machine (VM), receiving resolution data for each monitor of multiple client devices forming a logical client unit, determining, based on the resolution data of the VM monitor and the resolution data of the monitors of the multiple client devices, client devices of the multiple client devices in the logical client unit to display the monitor of the VM, dividing, based on the resolutions of the determined client devices, the monitor of the VM into a number of portions that is equal to a number of the determined client devices, and mapping each of the portions of the monitor of the VM to a monitor of the determined client devices.
