Rolling out View and have hit a snag.
Our pools are configured to suspend when not in use. Our desktop environment is the same way, but we have the ability to wake them up when we need to access them to install software, etc.
I can't find an efficient method to "wake" or Power On a VM that has been suspended by View Horizon.
What I do:
- Put VM in maintenance mode via View Administrator
- Power On VM via vSphere
- Complete my work on the VM.
- Take VM out of maintenance mode via View Administrator.
I don't want to extend this procedure to our desktop support staff. I'm confused why View Administrator does not power on the machine when you put it in Maintenance Mode, or give an option to power it on from there.
I dug around the net looking for waking and dealing with powered off VMs but didn't find much.
Am I missing something?
Are others using "Ensure Powered On", instead of suspend?
Thanks,
