Protecting Writable Volumes

Omnissa App Volumes employs a default protection mechanism to prevent accidental deletion of attached VMDK volumes.

You can override this default protection by setting the CV_NO_PROTECT environment variable to 1.

CAUTION:

With the CV_NO_PROTECT=1 setting, there is no protection in place for volumes and might result in the loss of a user's Writable Volumes.

If you delete a VM, vSphere deletes any writable disks that are attached.

Note: Do not use the CV_NO_PROTECT variable when App Volumes is configured to use Writable Volumes.
