Administering View Cloud Pod Architecture

Modifying Global Entitlements
You can add and remove desktop pools, users, and groups from global entitlements. You can also delete
global entitlements and modify global entitlement attributes and policies.
Add a Desktop Pool to a Global Entitlement
You can use View Administrator to add a desktop pool to an existing global entitlement. You can add a
particular desktop pool to only one global entitlement.
You can also use the lmvutil command to add a desktop pool to a global entitlement. See “Adding a
Desktop Pool to a Global Entitlement,” on page 49.
Prerequisites
Create the desktop pool to add to the global entitlement. See the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in
View document.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
that contains the desktop pool to add to the global entitlement.
2 In View Administrator, select Catalog > Global Entitlements.
3 Double-click the global entitlement.
4 On the Local Pools tab, click Add, select the desktop pool to add, and click Add.
You can press the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple desktop pools.
NOTE Desktop pools that are already associated with a global entitlement or that do not meet the
criteria for the global entitlement policies you selected are not displayed.
NOTE If a View administrator changes the pool-level display protocol or protocol override policy after a
desktop pool is associated with a global entitlement, users can receive a desktop launch error when they
select the global entitlement. If a View administrator changes the pool-level virtual machine reset policy
after a desktop pool is associated with the global entitlement, users can receive an error if they try to reset
the desktop.
Remove a Desktop Pool From a Global Entitlement
You can use View Administrator to remove a desktop pool from a global entitlement.
You can also use the lmvutil command to remove a desktop pool from a global entitlement. See “Removing
a Desktop Pool From a Global Entitlement,” on page 50.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
that contains the desktop pool to remove.
2 In View Administrator, select Catalog > Global Entitlements.
3 On the Local Pools tab, select the desktop pool to remove from the global entitlement and click Delete.
