Horizon Pods - Remove a Desktop Pool from a Multi-Cloud Assignment

To remove a desktop pool from a multi-cloud assignment configured on Horizon pods, you must perform the proper sequence of steps in the proper order. You must first modify the assignment containing the pool and then clear the Cloud Managed setting on the pool.

After you complete this sequence, the desktop pool becomes available for local entitlements configured in Horizon Console.

Important: Always use the proper sequence of steps to remove a desktop pool from a multi-cloud assignment. Do not attempt to remove pools by manually clearing the Cloud Assigned setting in Horizon Console. If you manually clear Cloud Assigned, the pool still retains its association with the multi-cloud assignment and Universal Broker can still broker desktops from the pool to users requesting the assignment.

Procedure

1. In the Horizon Universal Console, edit the multi-cloud assignment that contains the desktop pool.

   1. In the left pane of the console, click Assignments. Select On-Prem & Cloud from the Assignments menu.

   2. On the Assignments page, select the check box next to the assignment that contains the desktop pool and click Edit.

   3. In the Edit Desktop Assignment wizard, navigate to the Desktop page and deselect the desktop pool that you want to remove.

   4. Click Finish.

2. Log in to the Horizon Console user interface for any Connection Server instance in the pod that contains the desktop pool. Then modify the configuration settings for the pool.

   1. In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Desktops.

      The Edit Pool wizard appears.

   2. Select the desktop pool in the list and click Edit.

   3. Click the Desktop Pool Settings tab. Under General, verify that the Cloud Assigned setting is cleared.

      The Cloud Assigned setting is automatically cleared when you remove the pool from its multi-cloud assignment in the Horizon Universal Console.

   4. Under General, clear the Cloud Managed setting.

      The pool is now available for local entitlements in Horizon Console.

      The following screenshot shows the configuration for a desktop pool that is available for local entitlements and no longer participates in multi-cloud assignments.

      

   5. Click OK to close the Edit Pool wizard.
