Hi all.
Apparently, linked clones will check the same KMS server that was used to activate their golden master.
(VMware View 5.0 Documentation Center) - note this is View 5 documentation, but we use View 6.1 now.
"For KMS licensing, View Composer uses the KMS server that is configured to activate the parent virtual machine."
This causes a problem if the KMS is decommissioned, or generally has a problem - all linked clones fail to activate.
How can we prevent the linked clones from using the same KMS server?
How can we get the linked clones to enumerate and pick the first KMS server returned by the DNS SRV records?
Thanks
