You can retry a failed image version publish attempt, or expand the locations of an image version to additional provider instances.

Use the Horizon Cloud Service Republish feature for the following use cases.

  • If an attempt to publish an image version fails.

    You do not need to delete the old image and start from the beginning to republish the image version.

  • If the image version was not included in the initial publication for a provider instance

    You can republish an image version to add it to a provider instance.

Before performing any of the following steps, also review key information at Requirements and Considerations Specific to Using Horizon Image Management Service with Deployments of Horizon Edge in Microsoft Azure.

Republish an Image Version to Additional Provider Instances

When you have multiple provider instances, you might need to expand the locations of an image version to additional provider instances (edges) other than the ones selected during a previous publish phase.

Expand the location of an image version onto a new provider instance.

Prerequisites

The image version should be in a partially published, failed, or available state.

Procedure

  1. On the Horizon Universal Console Home page, click Images.
  2. On the Images page, click a published image link.
  3. Select the published image and click Publish.
  4. On the Republish Image page, Horizon Edges on which the image version failed to publish are selected automatically and cannot be deselected. Select the edge that does not include an image and click Republish.

Republish a Failed Image

If an attempt to publish an image fails, you can use the Republish workflow to retry publishing. With a Republish option you can re-trigger the publish operation from the point of failure.

Prerequisites

The image should be in a partially published, failed, or available state.

Procedure

  1. On the Horizon Universal Console Home page, click Images.
  2. On the Images page, click failed image link.
  3. Select the failed image and click Publish.
  4. On the Republish Image page, Horizon Edges on which the image failed to publish are selected automatically and cannot be deselected. Click Republish.
