With the Add Pool Policy Configuration workflow, administrators can set safeguards for delegated administrators and end users regarding de-provisioning, or recycling, desktops. Administrators can select whether to delete the virtual machine, and can determine how to manage any associated persistent disks.

You must run this workflow once for each pool that has an active de-provisioning workflow. When de-provisioning the virtual machines in a desktop pool, you can delete the virtual machine, or you can unassign and unentitle the user.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you have administrator credentials for the vRealize Orchestrator server. The account must be a member of the vRealize Orchestrator Admin group configured to authenticate through vCenter Single Sign-On.
  • Configure the connection to the pod.

Procedure

  1. Log in to vRealize Orchestrator as an administrator.
  2. Click the Workflows view in vRealize Orchestrator.
  3. In the workflows hierarchical list, select Library > Horizon > Configuration > Pool Policy Configuration and navigate to the Add Pool Policy Configuration workflow.
  4. Right-click the Add Pool Policy Configuration workflow and select Start workflow.
  5. Enter values in the form that appears and click Submit.
    If you save any persistent disks, specify the datastore and the path to the folder that stores the persistent disk.

What to do next

If you must remove or update a pool policy, you can run the Remove Pool Policy Configuration workflow or the Update Pool Policy Configuration workflow.
