Option Description
--showGroupHomeSites
Shows all of the home sites for a group. See “Listing the
Home Sites for a User or Group,” on page 62.
--showUserHomeSites
Shows all of the home sites for a user. See “Listing the
Home Sites for a User or Group,” on page 62.
--uninitialize

page 47.
--unjoin
Removes an available pod from a pod federation. See
“Removing a Pod From a Pod Federation,” on page 48.
--updateGlobalEntitlement
Modifies a global entitlement. See “Modifying a Global
Entitlement,” on page 54.

other option to obtain detailed command output. The

For lmvutil command authentication options, see “lmvutil Command Authentication,” on page 43.
Initializing the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature
You can use the lmvutil command with the --initialize option to initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture
feature. When you initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature, View sets up the Global Data Layer on each
View Connection Server instance in the pod and configured the VIPA interpod communication channel.
Syntax
lmvutil --initialize
Usage Notes
Before you initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature, verify that the latest version of View is installed on
each View Connection Server instance in the pod and the latest version of View Agent is running on every
desktop.
You can run this command on any View Connection Server instance in a pod. You need to run the
command only once, on one View Connection Server instance. You do not need to run this command for
other pods in a pod federation because all other pods join the initialized pod.
This command returns an error message if the Cloud Pod Architecture feature is already initialized or if the
command is unable to complete the operation.
Example
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --initialize
