Adding and Deleting Pool Members

A VDI pool can contain different types of members. These could be all available guest VMs, specific guest VMs, and guest VMs created from a template.

To add a member to a pool:

1. Select a pool in the Pools list.
2. In the Tasks drop-down menu above the Members list (the upper right-hand corner of the Members area), click Add and choose a member type from the following list:
   • All guest VMs in host. All guest VMs that are located on a particular VDI host. After clicking this options, you'll be able to select a VDI host.
   • Guest VM. A specific guest VM located in the farm. After clicking this options, you'll be able to select a guest VM from the list.
   • Native pool. A group of guest VMs that were natively configured in the hypervisor as a pool. Please note that a hypervisor may use a different term for pools (e.g. "resource pools"). After clicking this option, you'll be able to select a native pool from the list, if any are available.
   • RAS Template. Guest VMs that are automatically created from a RAS Template. After selecting this option, you'll be able to select a RAS Template. For more information about RAS Templates, refer to Managing RAS Templates.
3. After you click one of the above menu items, you will be presented with the list of the available hosts, guest VMs, or templates from which you can make your selection.

To delete a member from a pool, select the pool, then select a pool member you wish to delete, and then click Tasks > Delete.
