How to Deploy a new Snapshot to Instant Clone Pool in Horizon 8

novell1 — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 09:26:44 GMT

Hi, I did install on new test environment with vSphere7u1 Horizon8. The first time I use Instant Clone, its working with the first created Snapshot. After setting up with more Windows applications on the win10 master, i did a new snapshot. In the Horizon manager poolsettings i can't change the old snapshot to the new snapshot2. It says: Please use the Maintenance Wizard. I did not found those wizard... to change to the new snapshot.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

You need to publish the new snapshot.
Check this page and see if you can figure it out: https://www.carlstalhood.com/vmware-horizon-8-virtual-desktop-pools/#updatepool

Hi JesperA89,

thanks, but I installed some new applications and made a new (second) snapshot. In Horizon 8 I canüt change to the new snapshot. This was no problem with the older versions (with composer). I don't find the maintenance wizard....

Thanks, and have a good happy new year and stay healthy!

You can't edit it, you have to use the push image option, its the same in the end.

Click the "Maintain" drop down, select "Schedule" and then it is pretty much is the same wizard as compose was. At least this is how it looks in 7.13. When I first changed to Instant Clones I was a bit puzzled as well. I don't think that "Maintain" is a great word to use for pushing out a new image.
