Procedure
n
To create a home site for a user, run the lmvutil command with the --createUserHomeSite option.
You can run the command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
lmvutil --createUserHomeSite --userName domain\username --siteName name [--entitlementName
name]
Option Description
--userName
Specifies the name of the user. Use the format domain\username.
--siteName
Specifies the name of the site to associate with the user as the home site.
--entitlementName
(Optional) Specifies the name of a global entitlement to associate with the
home site. When a user selects the specified global entitlement, the home
site overrides the user's own home site. If you do not specify this option,
the command creates a global user home site.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --createUserHomeSite --
userName example\adminEast --siteName "Eastern Region" --entitlementName "Agent Sales"
n
To create a home site for a group, run the lmvutil command with the --createGroupHomeSite option.
You can run the command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
lmvutil --createGroupHomeSite --userName domain\username --siteName name [--entitlementName
name]
Option Description
--groupName
Specifies the name of the group. Use the format domain\groupname.
--siteName
Specifies the name of the site to associate with the group as the home site.
--entitlementName
(Optional) Specifies the name of a global entitlement to associate with the
home site. When a user selects the specified global entitlement, the home
site overrides the user's own home site. If you do not specify this option,
the command creates a global group home site.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--createGroupHomeSite --groupName example\adminEastGroup --siteName "Eastern Region"
--entitlementName "Agent Sales"
Test a Cloud Pod Architecture Configuration
After you initialize and configure a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, you should perform certain steps
to verify that your environment is set up properly.
Prerequisites
n
Install the latest version of Horizon Client on a supported computer or mobile device.
n
Verify that you have credentials for a user in one of your newly created global entitlements.
Procedure
1 Launch Horizon Client.
2 Connect to any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation by using the credentials of a user
in one of your newly created global entitlements.
After you connect to the View Connection Server instance, the global entitlement name should appear
in the list of available desktop pools.
