Assigning Multiple Network Labels to a Desktop Pool
In View 5.2 and later releases, you can configure automated full-clone and linked-clone desktop pools to use
multiple network labels. This feature expands the number of IP addresses you can assign to the virtual
machines in a pool, making it easier to create pools that have a large number of desktops. You can use View
PowerCLI cmdlets to assign network labels that are available in the vCenter Server resource pool where the
automated full-clone or linked-clone desktop pool is deployed.
By default, the virtual machines in a desktop pool inherit the network interface card (NIC) and its associated
network label from the parent virtual machine or template. Some parent virtual machines or templates
might have multiple NICs and associated network labels. Typically, the subnet mask of a VLAN defined by
a network label has a limited range of available IP addresses. For example, a subnet mask might have a
maximum of 254 IP addresses that can be assigned to the desktop virtual machines.
View distributes network labels among the virtual machines in the entire desktop pool. When View
provisions desktops, it assigns network labels in alphabetical order. When the maximum number of virtual
machines are provisioned with IP addresses that use the first network label, View starts to assign the second
label, and so on.
To configure a desktop pool to use multiple network labels, you select network labels from the labels
defined for the ESXi cluster in vCenter Server, associate the labels with the NICs that are inherited from a
parent virtual machine or template, specify the maximum number of IP addresses that can be assigned to
virtual machines from each network label, and save the information in a network label configuration file.
You specify the network label configuration file in the View PowerCLI cmdlet that you use to create the
desktop pool.
Network Label Configuration File Format
You use a network label configuration file to configure automated full-clone and linked-clone desktop pools
to use multiple network labels. The network label configuration file contains a flag that controls whether
network labels are assigned and sections that define NICs, network labels, and network label attributes.
Enabled Flag
This flag is set to enabled=true by default. Keep the flag set to true to allow View to assign network labels to
the pool.
Parameter Definition for NIC Section
This section lists the NICs defined in vCenter Server on the template or snapshot of the parent virtual
machine. Do not edit this section.
Parameter Definition for Network Section
This section lists the network labels defined in vCenter Server instance for the ESXi hosts in the cluster.
Network labels are listed in alphabetical order. If a cluster uses standard network labels and distributed
virtual switch network labels, use only one type of label for a pool. Do not edit this section.
