The information in this topic lists how to install and upgrade App Volumes from existing Horizon 8 pool deployments (floating or dedicated) to a dedicated Horizon 8 pool deployment.
| Existing pool deployment | Is App Volumes installed? | Use App Volumes in a dedicated pool deployment |
|---|---|---|
| Floating | No | To install App Volumes agent on the base (golden) image, follow the Patching an Instant-Clone Desktop Pool procedure. For information about this procedure, see the Patching an Instant-Clone Desktop Pool section in the Desktops and Applications in Horizon 8 documentation at Omnissa Product Documentation. |
| Dedicated | No Important: If a system Writable Volume is present, then you cannot install App Volumes agent in a dedicated pool deployment. Location of the system Writable Volume is C:\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}. | To install App Volumes agent in a dedicated pool deployment, follow the Customize Machines by Placing Them in Maintenance Mode After Pool Creation procedure. Note: At step 6 in the procedure, you can use a solution such as Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) to automate the installation of App Volumes agent on all VMs in the pool. For information about this procedure, see the Customize Machines by Placing Them in Maintenance Mode After Pool Creation section in the Desktops and Applications in Horizon 8 documentation at Omnissa Product Documentation. |
