Administering View Cloud Pod Architecture

Managing Global Entitlements
You can use lmvutil command options to create, modify, and list global entitlements in a Cloud Pod
Architecture environment. Global entitlements link users to desktops, regardless of where the desktops are
located in the pod federation. They also determine how the Cloud Pod Architecture feature allocates
desktops to those users.

You can use the lmvutil command with the --createGlobalEntitlement to create a global
entitlement. A global entitlement links together users and desktops, regardless of where the desktops
are located in the pod federation. Global entitlements also include policies that determine how the
Cloud Pod Architecture feature allocates desktops to those users.

Modifying a Global Entitlement on page 48
You can use the lmvutil command with the --updateGlobalEntitlement option to modify the
scope, description, and other attributes of a global entitlement.

Deleting a Global Entitlement on page 49
You can use the lmvutil command with the --deleteGlobalEntitlement option to delete a global
entitlement.

Creating a Global Entitlement
You can use the lmvutil command with the --createGlobalEntitlement to create a global entitlement. A
global entitlement links together users and desktops, regardless of where the desktops are located in the pod
federation. Global entitlements also include policies that determine how the Cloud Pod Architecture feature
allocates desktops to those users.
Syntax
lmvutil --createGlobalEntitlement --entitlementName name --scope scope
{--isDedicated | --isFloating} [--description text] [--disabled]
[--fromHome] [--multipleSessionAutoClean] [--requireHomeSite] [--defaultProtocol value]
Usage Notes
You can use the lmvutil command on any View Connection Server instance in a pod federation. View stores
new data in the Global Data Layer and replicates that data in all pods in the pod federation.
This command returns an error message if the global entitlement already exists, the scope is invalid, the
Cloud Pod Architecture feature is not initialized, or the command cannot create the global entitlement.
