Obtain and Export NIC and Network Label Information
Before you can assign multiple network labels to a pool, you must obtain NIC and network label
information and export that information to a network label configuration file.
For a full-clone pool, you obtain information about the NICs configured on the template that you use to
create the full-clone pool. For a linked-clone pool, you obtain information about the NICs configured on the
parent virtual machine that you use to create the linked-clone pool. You obtain network label information
from the available network labels configured on the ESXi hosts in the cluster on which the desktop pool is to
be deployed.
When you export the NIC and network label information to a network label configuration file, you set the
maximum number of virtual machines that can be provisioned with IP addresses from each network label.
You should allow a certain number of virtual machines for overhead. For example, if a network label VLAN
allows a maximum of 254 IP addresses to be assigned to virtual machines, you might set the maximum
number to 244.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with using View PowerCLI. See “Getting Started with View PowerCLI,” on page 27.
Procedure
n
To obtain and export NIC and network label information to create a full-clone pool, use the Export-
NetworkLabelSpecForFullClone cmdlet.
For example:
Export-NetworkLabelSpecForFullClone -vc_id id -clusterPath "cluster-path"
-TemplatePath "template-path" -maxVMsPerNetworkLabel nn
-networkLabelConfigFile "config-file-path"
n
To obtain and export NIC and network label information to create a linked-clone pool, use the Export-
NetworkLabelSpecForLinkedClone cmdlet.
For example:
Export-NetworkLabelSpecForLinkedClone -vc_id id -clusterPath "cluster-path"
-parentVMPath "parent-vm-path" -parentSnapshotPath "snapshot-path"
-maxVMsPerNetworkLabel nn -networkLabelConfigFile "config-file-path"
