Setting Power Policies for Desktop Pools
You can configure a power policy for the virtual machines in a desktop pool if the virtual machines are managed
by vCenter Server.
Power policies control how a virtual machine behaves when its associated desktop is not in use. A desktop is
considered not in use before a user logs in and after a user disconnects or logs off. Power policies also control
how a virtual machine behaves after administrative tasks such as refresh, recompose, and rebalance are
completed.
You configure power policies when you create or edit desktop pools in View Administrator. See Chapter 5,
“Creating Desktop Pools,” on page 87 or “Managing Desktop Pools,” on page 265 for more information.
NOTE You cannot configure power policies for desktop pools that have unmanaged desktops.
Power Policies for Desktop Pools
