n
Become familiar with the lmvutil command authentication options and requirements and verify that
you have sufficient privileges to run the lmvutil command. See “lmvutil Command Authentication,”
on page 38.
Procedure
n
To create a home site for a user, run the lmvutil command with the --createUserHomeSite option.
You can run the command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
lmvutil --createUserHomeSite --userName domain\username --siteName name [--entitlementName
name]
Option Description
--userName
Name of the user. Use the format domain\username.
--siteName
Name of the site to associate with the user as the home site.
--entitlementName
(Optional) Name of a global entitlement to associate with the home site.
When a user selects the specified global entitlement, the home site
overrides the user's own home site. If you do not specify this option, the
command creates a global user home site.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --createUserHomeSite --
userName example\adminEast --siteName "Eastern Region" --entitlementName "Agent Sales"
n
To create a home site for a group, run the lmvutil command with the --createGroupHomeSite option.
You can run the command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
lmvutil --createGroupHomeSite --userName domain\username --siteName name [--entitlementName
name]
Option Description
--groupName
Name of the group. Use the format domain\groupname.
--siteName
Name of the site to associate with the group as the home site.
--entitlementName
(Optional) Name of a global entitlement to associate with the home site.
When a user selects the specified global entitlement, the home site
overrides the user's own home site. If you do not specify this option, the
command creates a global group home site.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--createGroupHomeSite --groupName example\adminEastGroup --siteName "Eastern Region"
--entitlementName "Agent Sales"
Test a Cloud Pod Architecture Configuration
After you initialize and configure a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, perform certain steps to verify
that your environment is set up properly.
Prerequisites
n
Install the latest version of Horizon Client on a supported computer or mobile device.
n
Verify that you have credentials for a user in one of your newly created global entitlements.
Procedure
1 Start Horizon Client.
