Example: How to Create Sites in a Cloud Pod Architecture Configuration

In this example, the Horizon administrator uses Horizon Console to create a site for the Eastern and Central data centers and adds pods to those sites.

1. The Horizon administrator logs in to the Horizon Console user interface for any Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
2. To create a site for the Eastern data center, the Horizon administrator selects Settings > Sites and clicks Add.
3. To create a site for the Central data center, the Horizon administrator selects Settings > Sites and clicks Add.
4. To move East Pod 1 to the site for the Eastern data center, the Horizon administrator selects Settings > Sites, selects the site that currently contains East Pod 1, selects East Pod 1, clicks Edit, and selects the Eastern data center site from the Site drop-down menu.
5. To move Central Pod 1 to the site for the Central data center, the Horizon administrator selects Settings > Sites, selects the site that currently contains Central Pod 1, selects Central Pod 1, clicks Edit, and selects the Central data center site from the Site drop-down menu.
6. To move Central Pod 2 to the site for the Central data center, the Horizon administrator selects Settings > Sites, selects the site that currently contains Central Pod 2, selects Central Pod 2, clicks Edit, and selects the Central data center site from the Site drop-down menu.

The pod federation site topology now reflects the geographic distribution of pods in the insurance company's network.
