You can create Writable Volumes for computers and users to store user-specific data such as application settings, user profiles, configuration settings, and licensing information.
Prerequisites
- Your account must have read access to the domains that you use with App Volumes, and the domains must be configured with a two-way trust if an entity is searched for in the Active Directory forest. See the User Accounts and Credentials section in the VMware App Volumes Installation guide for more information.
- If you are creating a Writable Volume for a group or OU, sync the users in the group or OU so that any changes to group or OU membership for the user are reflected in the App Volumes database. Go to and click Sync to see the updated list of users.
- You must have uploaded the required Writable Volumes template to the datastore.
Procedure
What to do next
Confirm that the Writable Volume has been created for the user. From the App Volumes Manager console, select and verify that the volume you just created has the status set to Enabled.
