Table 5-19. Desktop and Pool Setting Descriptions (Continued)
Setting Options
Max resolution of any one monitor If you use PCoIP, select the pixel dimensions of the highest
resolution monitor.
This setting affects the amount of vRAM that is assigned to
desktops in the pool. When you increase this value, more
memory is consumed on the associated ESX hosts.
NOTE You must power off and on existing virtual machines
for this setting to take effect. Restarting a virtual machine
does not cause the setting to take effect.
Adobe Flash quality Determines the quality of Adobe Flash content that is
displayed on Web pages.
n
Do not control. Quality is determined by Web page
settings.
n
Low. This setting results in the most bandwidth savings.
If no quality level is specified, the system defaults to
Low.
n
Medium. This setting results in moderate bandwidth
savings.
n
High. This setting results in the least bandwidth savings.
For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and
Throttling,” on page 185.
Adobe Flash throttling Determines the frame rate of Adobe Flash movies. If you
enable this setting, you can reduce or increase the number of
frames displayed per second by selecting an aggressiveness
level.
n
Disabled. No throttling is performed. The timer interval
is not modified.
n
Conservative. Timer interval is 100 milliseconds. This
setting results in the lowest number of dropped frames.
n
Moderate. Timer interval is 500 milliseconds.
n
Aggressive. Timer interval is 2500 milliseconds. This
setting results in the highest number of dropped frames.
For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and
Throttling,” on page 185.
NOTE Properties set for local desktops do not take effect until the desktops are checked back in.
Setting Power Policies for Desktop Pools
You can configure a power policy for the virtual machines in a desktop pool if the virtual machines are managed
by vCenter Server.
Power policies control how a virtual machine behaves when its associated desktop is not in use. A desktop is
considered not in use before a user logs in and after a user disconnects or logs off. Power policies also control
how a virtual machine behaves after administrative tasks such as refresh, recompose, and rebalance are
completed.
You configure power policies when you create or edit desktop pools in View Administrator. See Chapter 5,
“Creating Desktop Pools,” on page 71 or “Managing Desktop Pools,” on page 179 for more information.
NOTE You cannot configure power policies for desktop pools that have unmanaged desktops.
