Create and Configure a Site
If your Cloud Pod Architecture topology contains multiple pods, you might want to group those pods into
different sites. The Cloud Pod Architecture feature treats pods in the same site equally.
Prerequisites
n
Decide whether your Cloud Pod Architecture topology should include sites. See “Creating Cloud Pod
Architecture Sites,” on page 9.
n
Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. See “Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature,” on
page 15.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation.
2 Create the site.
a In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Sites and click Add.
b Type a name for the site in the Name text box.
The site name can contain between 1 and 64 characters.
c (Optional) Type a description of the site in the Description text box.
The site name can contain between 1 and 1024 characters.
d Click OK to create the site.
3 Add a pod to the site.
Repeat this step for each pod to add to the site.
a In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Sites and select the site that currently contains
the pod to add to the site.
The names of the pods in the site appear in the lower pane.
b Select the pod to add to the site and click Edit.
c Select the site from the Site drop-down menu and click OK.
Assign a Home Site to a User or Group
A home site is the relationship between a user or group and a Cloud Pod Architecture site. Home sites
ensure that users always receive desktops and applications from a particular datacenter, even when they are
traveling. Creating home sites is optional.
Prerequisites
n
Decide whether to assign home sites to users or groups in your Cloud Pod Architecture environment.
See “Using Home Sites,” on page 11.
n
Group the pods in your pod federation into sites. See “Create and Configure a Site,” on page 20.
n
Global entitlements do not use home sites by default. When creating a global entitlement, you must
select the Use home site option to cause View to use a user's home site when allocating desktops from
that global entitlement. See “Create and Configure a Global Entitlement,” on page 17.
n
Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. See “Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature,” on
page 15.
