VDI - VM won't shut down

[scotty_p]

I'm running VDI 2.0 and I have some Desktops set up as Individual Desktops and they seem to work fine.

I just set up a Pool Persistent Desktop which created 3 vm's. When I try to shut them down, they automatically

reboot. I don't see any settings to change this. Does anyone know why they won't shutdown?

Thanks,

Scott

I haven't used VDM (View) in awhile, but believe this is set on the pool level. Check the Virtual machine power policy.

Thanks for your quick resonse.

The Power Policy is set to "Power off when not in use". I also tried "Remain on" but I'm

still not able to shut it down. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Scott

so if you shutdown the VM within vCenter does VDM then just restart it?

[scotty_p]

I assume the VDM restarts it. It stays powered off for about 5 seconds, then restarts itself.

When you edited the pool to change the policy, did you continue through the whole pool or did you just hit finish at that point? Also, is this just 2.0.0 VDM?

Want make a difference in the future of VMware Products? Feature request your ideas ( )!

I think I just hit finish after I changed the policy. Do I need to go all the way through it?

This is 2.0.0 VDM.

Thanks,

Scott

I believe if you set a pool with (for example) 3 desktops available it will create those three right away... and then insist those are powered up. Once a VM is assigned to a user, it will follow the normal pool rules you selected.

Thanks a lot. I'll give that a shot.
