To create single-session Linux desktops, you configure a virtual desktop pool based on Linux virtual machines. Each virtual desktop in the pool supports a single user session at one time. You can also configure single-session application pools that run on virtual Linux desktops.
Horizon Agent for Linux supports the following desktop pool types for single-session virtual desktops:
- Manual desktop pool with vCenter virtual machine
- Automated full-clone desktop pool
- Instant-clone floating desktop pool
To create a manual desktop pool with a vCenter virtual machine, you must install Horizon Agent on all virtual machines. Then, use the Connection Server desktop pool creation wizard to add the virtual machines to the desktop pool.
To create an automated full-clone desktop pool, you must install Horizon Agent on a Linux virtual machine template. Then, use the Connection Server desktop pool creation wizard to clone full virtual machines.
To create an instant clone floating desktop pool, you must install Horizon Agent on a Linux virtual machine with PBIS Open environment setup, and create a template from it. Then, use the Connection Server desktop pool creation wizard to create instant-clone floating desktop pool.
