Administering View Cloud Pod Architecture

Joining Pods in the Example Configuration
The View administrator uses View Administrator to join Central Pod 1 and Central Pod 2 to the pod
federation.
1 To join Central Pod 1, the View administrator logs in to the View Administrator user interface for a
View Connection Server instance in Central Pod 1, selects View Configuration > Cloud Pod
Architecture, clicks Join the pod federation, and provides the host name or IP address of a View
Connection Server instance in East Pod 1.
Central Pod 1 is now joined to the pod federation.
2 To join Central Pod 2, the View administrator logs in to the View Administrator user interface for a
View Connection Server instance in Central Pod 2, selects View Configuration > Cloud Pod
Architecture, clicks Join the pod federation, and provides the host name or IP address of a View
Connection Server instance in East Pod 1 or Central Pod 1.
Central Pod 2 is now joined to the pod federation.
After Central Pod 1 and Central Pod 2 are joined to the pod federation, all 10 View Connection Server
instances across both pods in the Central region are part of the pod federation.
Creating Sites in the Example Configuration
The View administrator uses View Administrator to create a site for the Eastern and Central datacenters and
adds pods to those sites.
1 The View administrator logs in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection
Server instance in the pod federation.
2 To create a site for the Eastern datacenter, the View administrator selects View Configuration > Sites
and clicks Add.
3 To create a site for the Central datacenter, the View administrator selects View Configuration > Sites
and clicks Add.
4 To move East Pod 1 to the site for the Eastern datacenter, the View administrator selects View
Configuration > Sites, selects the site that currently contains East Pod 1, selects East Pod 1, clicks Edit,
and selects the Eastern datacenter site from the Site drop-down menu.
5 To move Central Pod 1 to the site for the Central datacenter, the View administrator selects View
Configuration > Sites, selects the site that currently contains Central Pod 1, selects Central Pod 1, clicks
Edit, and selects the Central datacenter site from the Site drop-down menu.
6 To move Central Pod 2 to the site for the Central datacenter, the View administrator selects View
Configuration > Sites, selects the site that currently contains Central Pod 2, selects Central Pod 2, clicks
Edit, and selects the Central datacenter site from the Site drop-down menu.
The pod federation site topology now reflects the geographic distribution of pods in the insurance
company's network.
Creating Global Entitlements in the Example Configuration
The View administrator uses View Administrator to create a single global entitlement that entitles all sales
agents to all desktops in the sales agent desktop pools across all pods in the pod federation.
1 To create and add users to the global entitlement, the View administrator logs in to the View
Administrator user interface for a View Connection Server in the pod federation, selects Catalog >
Global Entitlements, and clicks Add.
