Hello All,
I was looking through the admin guide for the answer but did not see it, unless I missed it. I have View 4.5 setup in a lab environment with a Linked-Clone Pool. I performed a Refresh on 1 vdesktop. The refresh completed sucessfully. However, after it was finished the VM was powered off. Is this normal behavior? I waited a good 10 minutes and it was still off, so I powered it on and everything worked as expected.
Thanks,
Mike
Have you played around with any of the power options for the pool? I have mine set to power off when not in use so it will not start up until a certain threshold has been met.
Ah pcerda, that is making sense. To clarify, this is a dedicated pool. I set the Max desktops to 10, spare to 1 and originally created one on demand. Once User1 logged into Desktop1 it automatically created Desktop2(as expected). I made some changes then refreshed Desktop1 which User1 was already assigned to. So once it completes Desktop2 is on, but Desktop 1 is off. What happens if User1 tries to login to a desktop? Does he get Desktop2 since Desktop1 is powered off? My thought was in dedicated pool, he should always get Desktop1.
****Update*****
I tested this in my lab, once User1 tries to login, Desktop1 is automatically powered on.
Thanks again

This is very much expected behaviour. Since this is a dedicated pool, User 1 will always get Desktop 1 and does not matter whether it is powered on or not. Please note that the 'spare value' is applicable only for unassigned desktops.
