Persistent Guest VMs

When an application or desktop is published from a guest VM and set as persistent, the first time a user launches it, the guest VM is marked as persistent. To view persistent guest VMs:

1. In the Parallels RAS Console, navigate to Farm / VDI Hosts .
2. Select the Persistent Guest VMs tab page in the right pane.

The Persistent Guest VMs list contains guest VMs that were marked as persistent. If a guest VM hasn't been used, you can remote persistence by doing one of the following:

• Select a guest VM in the list and then click Tasks > Delete . To remove all guest VMs from this list, click Tasks > Delete All . Please note that this will not delete a guest VM from the VDI Host. It will simply remove persistence if you decide that it's no longer required.
• Use the Auto remove persistence if guest VM was not used for drop-down menu to define an automatic removal rule. In the menu, select the time period after which persistence should be removed if a guest VM was not used during this time. Note that you can also type the desired time period (e.g. 1 week 3 days).
