What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
Installing the VDI Agent for XenDesktop
vRealize Automation uses Virtual Desktop Integration (VDI) PowerShell agents to register the XenDesktop
machines it provisions with external desktop management systems.
The VDI integration agent provides the owners of registered machines with a direct connection to the
XenDesktop Web Interface. You can install a VDI agent as a dedicated agent to interact with a single
Desktop Delivery Controller (DDC) or as a general agent that can interact with multiple DDCs.
XenDesktop Requirements
A system administrator installs a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) agent to integrate XenDesktop
servers into vRealize Automation.
You can install a general VDI agent to interact with multiple servers. If you are installing one dedicated
agent per server for load balancing or authorization reasons, you must provide the name of the XenDesktop
DDC server when installing the agent. A dedicated agent can handle only registration requests directed to
the server specied in its conguration.
Consult the vRealize Automation Support Matrix on the VMware Web site for information about supported
versions of XenDesktop for XenDesktop DDC servers.
Installation Host and Credentials
The credentials under which the agent runs must have administrative access to all XenDesktop DDC servers
with which it interacts.
XenDesktop Requirements
The name given to the XenServer Host on your XenDesktop server must match the UUID of the Xen Pool in
XenCenter. See “Set the XenServer Host Name,” on page 107 for more information.
