VMware View Two Cluster - Tags

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible  - as I have been lead to believe but with no success - to use Tags within the View 5.1 environment to get reconnected to a disconnected desktop with all Brokers in the same instance but with different tags on the Pools and Connections Servers?

Pool A in Cluster 1 has tag TagPoolA and  Pool B is Cluster 2 had tag TagPoolB

Connection Server 1 is  restricted to TagPoolA and Connection Server 2 is restricted to TagPoolB.

All Users are entitled to both Pools.

I am using a common round robin DNS namespace to alternate between the two Connection Servers.

First time of logon, I connect to Connection Server 1 and log in no issues.  If I now disconnect and log in again I am pointed to Connection Server 2 (by chance).

I was led to believe that because both Connection Servers are part of the same instance that they would know between them that I am already connected to a desktop and reconnect me back to my desktop instead of presenting me now with a new desktop in Pool B (because connected to Connection Server 2).

Any guidance on how this can be accomplished as I don't want to offer my Users the choice of Pools; neither do I want to go down the road of manually splitting the Pool entitlements and maintaining AD groups 50/50?

Cheers,

Paul.

No. You've configured it to not allow Connection Server 2 to access Pool A.
