In a manual desktop pool, each remote desktop that is accessed by an end user is a separate machine. When you create a manual desktop pool, you select existing machines. You can create a pool that contains a single desktop by creating a manual desktop pool and selecting a single machine.
Horizon 7 can use several types of machines in manual pools:
- Virtual machines that are managed by vCenter Server
- Virtual machines that run on a virtualization platform other than vCenter Server
- Physical computers
For information about creating a manual desktop pool that uses Linux virtual machines, see the Setting Up Horizon 7 for Linux Desktops guide.
For information about creating manual desktop pools based on the types of machines, see "Creating and Managing Manual Desktop Pools" in the latest version of VMware Horizon documentation available at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon/index.html.
