You can create a manual desktop pool that provisions desktops from VMware vSphere virtual machines.
Prerequisites
- Verify that VMware vCenter Server is added to Horizon Connection Server.
- Prepare the machines to deliver remote desktop access. In a manual pool, you must prepare each machine individually. See Preparing a Linux Virtual Machine for Desktop Deployment.
- Verify that Horizon Agent is installed on each machine. See Install Horizon Agent on a Linux Virtual Machine.
- Gather the configuration information required to create the pool. See Worksheet for Creating a Manual Linux Desktop Pool.
Procedure
What to do next
Entitle users to access the pool. See "Entitling Users and Groups" in Horizon 8 Administration on the VMware Horizon Documentation portal.
