Hi,
Writeable Volumes are supported with persistent VMs but using the UIA template only. It would appear you are trying to use UIA + Profile as per your first post. This and the Profile Only templates are NOT supported with persistent virtual machines.
The following table is from:-
VMware Knowledge Base
The table below shows the possible individual use cases for VMware App Volumes.
Assignment
Type | Volume Type | Instant Clone | Linked clone | FullClone | RDSH |
| Floating | Dedicated | Application | Desktop |
| with Delete or refresh machine on logoff | with Refresh OS disk after logoff | with Delete machine on logoff |
| User | AppStack | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Writable | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Computer | AppStack | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Writable | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Legend = Yes - Supported Scenario.
Persistent Disk with AppStacks and Writable Volumes (UIA Only template) is supported.
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Andrew
