This documentation page applies to first-gen tenants with cloud-connected Horizon 8 pods. You create an image based on an image version that exists in the first-gen IMS image catalog. This capability lets you quickly branch an existing image into a new collection of image versions. You perform these steps in the Horizon Universal Console.
Prerequisites
When creating an image for Horizon pods of the type based on Horizon Connection Server, you must first set up the participating vCenter Server instances. See First-Gen Horizon Cloud, IMS, and Horizon 8 Pods - Configuring the vCenter Server Instances.
Procedure

In the console, select Inventory > Images - Multi-Pod.
The console displays all the images registered in the image catalog.

The details page for the image appears, listing all its image versions.
-
Select the version on which you want to base the new image, and then click New Image.
The New Image dialog box appears.
