A View administrator can run this command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation. In this example, the View administrator runs the command on central6.example.
lmvutil --authAs adminCentral --authDomain example --authPassword "*" --addGroupEntitlement
--entitlementName "Agent Sales" --groupName example\Sales
Using a Single View URL
The insurance company uses a single View URL and employs a DNS service to resolve sales.example to the
nearest pod in the nearest datacenter. With this arrangement, sales agents do not need to remember
different URLs for each pod and are always directed to the nearest datacenter, regardless of where they are
located.
When a sales agent connects to the View URL in Horizon Client, the Agent Sales global entitlement appears
on the list of available desktop pools. When a sales agent selects the global entitlement, the Cloud Pod
Architecture feature delivers the nearest available desktop in the pod federation. If all of the desktops in the
local datacenter are in use, the Cloud Pod Architecture feature selects a desktop from the other datacenter. If
a sales agent leaves a desktop session logged in, the Cloud Pod Architecture feature returns the sales agent
to that desktop, even if the sales agent has since traveled to a different region.
