Example: Linked-Clone Desktop Pool Deployment
In this example, the Add-AutomaticLinkedClonePool cmdlet creates a linked-clone pool named
POOL_NAME and assigns the network labels in the network label conguration le named label.txt le.

Assigning Network Labels
As View provisions virtual machines in a pool, it assigns network labels to the NICs in the virtual machines.
When the maximum number of virtual machines to be assigned a certain network label is reached, View
begins provisioning from the next network label.
After View assigns a network label to a virtual machine, it does not change the assignment.
If virtual machines in a pool are deleted, the associated network label assignments are freed and can be
assigned to any newly provisioned virtual machines in the pool.
View Composer refresh operations do not aect network label assignments. Virtual machines continue to
receive the network labels that were assigned to them when they were rst provisioned.
Preserving Network Labels During Recompose and Rebalance Operations
During View Composer recompose and rebalance operations, View aempts to ensure that the network
label of each NIC aached to each linked-clone desktop is preserved when a linked clone inherits new NICs
from a new base image. View preserves the network label of a NIC that was in place before the recompose
or rebalance operation as long as the new base image has an available NIC congured with the same type of
network switch. You can congure a NIC with a standard network switch or distributed virtual network
switch.
The following examples describe the rules that govern network label preservation during recompose and
rebalance operations.
n
If both the original linked-clone desktop and the new base image have one NIC congured with a
standard network switch, the network label and MAC address are preserved.
n
If both the original linked-clone desktop and the new base image have one NIC congured with a
distributed virtual network switch, the network label and MAC address are preserved.
n
If the original linked-clone desktop has one NIC congured with a standard network switch and the
new base image has one NIC congured with a distributed virtual network switch, the network label is
not preserved. The MAC address is preserved.
n
If the original linked-clone desktop has two NICs, both of which are congured with a standard
network switch, and the new base image has one NIC congured with a standard network switch, the
network label of one original NIC is preserved, but all network properties associated with the other
original NIC are not preserved.
