When you disable provisioning in an automated desktop pool, Horizon 8 stops provisioning new virtual machines for the pool. After you disable provisioning, you can enable provisioning again.
Before you change a desktop pool's configuration, you can disable provisioning to ensure that no new machines are created with the old configuration. You also can disable provisioning to prevent Horizon 8 from using additional storage when a pool is close to filling up the available space.
Procedure
-
In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Desktops.
-
Select a desktop pool and change the status of the pool.
Option Action Disable Provisioning Prevents new VMs from being created for the selected pool(s). For pools with manually specified VM names, disabling provisioning prevents VM creation but keeps VMs in a provisioning state. Enable Provisioning Selected pool(s) are made available to users and pool provisioning is started. -
Click OK.
