To add a group to the global entitlement, run the lmvutil command with the --addGroupEntitlement
option.
You can run this command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation. Repeat the
command for each group that you want to add to the global entitlement.
lmvutil --addGroupEntitlement --groupName domain\groupname --entitlementName name
Option Description
--groupName
Specifies the name of a group to add to the global entitlement. Use the
format domain\groupname.
--entitlementName
Specifies the name of the global entitlement to which to add the group. The
name must match the name of an existing global entitlement.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--addGroupEntitlement --groupName domainCentral\adminCentralGroup --entitlementName "Agent
Sales"
The Cloud Pod Architecture feature stores the global entitlement in the Global Data Layer, which replicates
the global entitlement on every pod in the pod federation. When an entitled user uses Horizon Client to
connect to a desktop, the global entitlement name appears in the list of available desktop pools.
When you add a desktop pool to a global entitlement, View checks to make sure that the desktop pool's
default display protocol, protocol override, and virtual machine reset policies support the equivalent
policies set for the global entitlement.
If a View administrator changes the pool-level display protocol or protocol override policy after a pool is
associated with a global entitlement, users can receive a desktop launch error when they select the global
entitlement. If a View administrator changes the pool-level virtual machine reset policy after a pool is
associated with the global entitlement, users can receive an error if they try to reset the virtual machine.
Create and Configure a Site
By default, the Cloud Pod Architecture feature places all pods into a default site called Default First 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
Determine the names of the pods to add to the site. See “Find and Change a Pod Name,” on page 17.
n
Become familiar with the lmvutil command authentication options and requirements and verify that
you have sufficient privileges to run the lmvutil command. See “lmvutil Command Authentication,”
on page 43.
n
Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. See “Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature,” on
page 15.
