The search results include the user, type of session (desktop or application), machine, pool or farm, pod,
brokering pod ID, site, and global entitlements associated with each session. The session start time,
duration, and state also appear in the search results.
NOTE The brokering pod ID is not immediately populated for new sessions in the search results. This ID
usually appears in View Adminstrator between two and three minutes after a session begins.
Determine the Effective Home Site for a User
Because you can assign home sites to both users and groups, a single user can have multiple home sites.
Home sites associated with global entitlements can override home sites associated with users and groups.
For these reasons, it can be difficult to determine the effective home site for a particular user. You can use
the lmvutil command to list a user's effective home site.
Prerequisites
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
u
On any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation, run the lmvutil command with the
--resolveUserHomeSite option.
lmvutil --resolveUserHomeSite --entitlementName name --userName domain\username
Option Description
--entitlementName
Name of a global entitlement. This option enables you to determine the
effective home site for a user and global entitlement combination, which
might be different from the home site that is configured for the user.
--userName
Name of the user whose home site you want to list. Use the format
domain\username.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --resolveUserHomeSite
--userName domainCentral\adminCentral
Add a Pod to a Site
You can use View Administrator to add a pod to an existing site.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation.
2 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Sites.
3 Select the site that currently contains the pod to add to the site.
The names of the pods in the site appear in the lower pane.
4 Select the pod to add to the site and click Edit.
5 Select the site from the Site drop-down menu and click OK.
