Nutanix - Worksheet for Creating an Automated RDSH Farm

Worksheet: Configuration Options for Nutanix Automated RDSH Farms

When you create a Nutanix desktop pool, you can configure certain options. Use this worksheet to record your configuration options before you create the pool.

CategoryOptionDescriptionEnter Your Value Here
TypeSelect Automated Desktop Pool  
Management ServerSelect CapacityChoose your Prism Central instance. The system populates the list with the capacity providers configured in Servers > Capacity Providers. 
Basic Information The following settings define the farm. 
 IDEnter the Farm ID. 
 Access GroupSelect the Access Group. 
 DescriptionEnter a description of the farm. 
Load BalancingFor a list of settings, see Load Balancing Settings . 
Provisioning The following settings provision the machines. 
 Maximum Number of VMsEnter the max VMs. 
 Max Sessions Per RDHS HostEnter the max number of sessions per host.
  • Unlimited – Allows unlimited sessions per host.
  • No More Than – Specify a limit. Note: The maximum supported sessions per RDS Host is 150.
 
 Virtual Machine NamingEnter the base name for the VM. Select Use a Naming Pattern or Specify Names Manually. 
 
 Logoff After Disconnect
  • Immediately. Users are logged out as soon as they disconnect.
  • Never. Users are never logged out.
  • After. The time after which users are logged out when they disconnect. Type the duration in minutes.

    The logout time applies to future disconnections. If a desktop session was already disconnected when you set a logout time, the logout duration for that user starts when you set the logout time, not when the session was originally disconnected. For example, if you set this value to five minutes, and a session was disconnected 10 minutes earlier, Horizon 8 will log out that session five minutes after you set the value.
 
 Enable ProvisioningYou can enable or virtual machine provisioning in the desktop pool. When you deactivate provisioning in the desktop pool, Horizon 8 stops provisioning new virtual machines for the desktop pool. After you deactivate provisioning, you can enable provisioning again. Before you change a desktop pool's configuration, you can deactivate provisioning to ensure that no new machines are created with the old configuration. You can also deactivate provisioning to prevent Horizon 8 from using additional storage when a pool is close to filling up the available space. When you create a desktop pool and deactivate this option, Horizon 8 creates a desktop pool without any virtual machines. If you edit a desktop pool and deactivate provisioning, Horizon 8 does not allow any new virtual machines to be provisioned in this desktop pool. End users can still connect to existing virtual machines.
 Stop Provisioning on ErrorDiscontinue provisioning when there is an error.
