Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View

Table 11‑4. Desktop Pool Setting Descriptions (Continued)
Setting Options
Max number of
monitors
If you use PCoIP as the display protocol, you can select the Maximum number of monitors on
which users can display the desktop.
When the 3D Renderer setting is not selected, the Max number of monitors setting affects the
amount of VRAM that is assigned to machines in the pool. When you increase the number of
monitors, more memory is consumed on the associated ESXi hosts.
When the 3D Renderer setting is selected, you can select at most two monitors.
NOTE You must power off and on existing virtual machines for this setting to take effect.
Restarting a virtual machine does not cause the setting to take effect.
Max resolution of
any one monitor
If you use PCoIP as the display protocol and you do not select the 3D Renderer setting, you
should specify the Maximum resolution of any one monitor.
When the 3D Renderer setting is not selected, the Max resolution of any one monitor setting
affects the amount of VRAM that is assigned to machines in the pool. When you increase the
resolution, more memory is consumed on the associated ESXi hosts.
When the 3D Renderer setting is selected, you cannot change the Maximum resolution of any
one monitor. The resolution is set to 1920x1200 pixels.
NOTE You must power off and on existing virtual machines for this setting to take effect.
Restarting a virtual machine does not cause the setting to take effect.
HTML Access Select Enabled to allow users to connect to remote desktops from within their Web browsers.
When a user logs in through the VMware Horizon Web portal page or the Workspace App Portal
and selects a remote desktop, the HTML Access agent enables the user to connect to the desktop
over HTTPS. The desktop is displayed in the user's browser. Other display protocols, such as
PCoIP or RDP, are not used. Horizon Client software does not have to be installed on the client
devices.
To use HTML Access, you must install HTML Access in your View deployment. For more
information, see Using HTML Access, available from
https://www.vmware.com/support/viewclients/doc/viewclients_pubs.html.
To use HTML Access with Workspace Portal, you must pair View Connection Server with a
SAML Authentication server, as described in the View Administration document. Workspace Portal
must be installed and configured for use with View Connection Server.
Adobe Flash quality Determines the quality of Adobe Flash content that is displayed on Web pages.
n
Do not control. Quality is determined by Web page settings.
n
Low. This setting results in the most bandwidth savings. If no quality level is specified, the
system defaults to Low.
n
Medium. This setting results in moderate bandwidth savings.
n
High. This setting results in the least bandwidth savings.
For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and Throttling,” on page 120.
Adobe Flash
throttling
Determines the frame rate of Adobe Flash movies. If you enable this setting, you can reduce or
increase the number of frames displayed per second by selecting an aggressiveness level.
n
Disabled. No throttling is performed. The timer interval is not modified.
n
Conservative. Timer interval is 100 milliseconds. This setting results in the lowest number of
dropped frames.
n
Moderate. Timer interval is 500 milliseconds.
n
Aggressive. Timer interval is 2500 milliseconds. This setting results in the highest number of
dropped frames.
