This section will provide an example of how to create two different Horizon dedicated assignment desktop pools, one based on Horizon Composer-linked clones and another based on full clones. Horizon Instant Clone pools only support floating assignment, so they have fewer options compared to the other types of desktop pools. Also discussed will be how to use the Horizon Administrator console and the vSphere client to monitor the provisioning process.
The examples provided for full clone and linked clone pools created dedicated assignment pools, although floating assignments may be created as well. The options will be slightly different for each, so refer to the information provided earlier in this chapter, as well as the Horizon documentation (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-7/index.html), to understand what each setting means. Additionally, the Horizon Administrator console often explains each setting within the desktop pool configuration screens.
