Advanced

The Advanced page has different properties for different types of VDI providers. The differences are described below.

Hypervisor-based VDI providers:

• Cluster Shared Volume (CSV), Network share: These two options appear if you are using Hyper-V Failover Cluster. They allow you to select a type of storage where guest VMs will be created. Select a desired option and then click the [...] button next to the edit field. Depending on the option selected, specify a Cluster Shared Volume or network folder. Note that a shared folder must be compatible with SMB 3.0. Please also note that the same credentials used to register Microsoft Hyper-V host as a VDI provider will be used to access the SMB file share for Guest VMs.

  Please also read the important note below.

  Note: To use this functionality, you need to set SMB constrained delegation (resource-based) using Windows PowerShell. Important: Windows Server 2012 forest functional level is required.

  On a server running Windows 2012 R2 and above install the Active Directory PowerShell module using Powershell. Note that you don’t need the module on a Hyper-V host or SMB file servers.

  Run the following cmdlet:

  Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell

  Delegate SMB delegation on a file server (cluster) for every node of Hyper-V cluster. For example if you are running a four-node Hyper-V cluster and you use a Scale-Out File Server cluster FS-CL01 as virtual machine storage:

  Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-01

  Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-02

  Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-03

  Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-04

  Mandatory: verify applied settings (the actual delegations) as follows:

  Get-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01

• Folder: This option is available if you are using Hyper-V, VMware vCenter, or Nutanix Acropolis. It specifies a folder where guest VMs will be created.
• Resource pool: Specifies a VMware resource pool.
• Physical Host: Available for VMware vCenter. Specifies a physical host where guest VMs will be created.

Microsoft Azure VDI provider:

• Resource group: Select an Azure resource group where the cloned VM will be created. Note that this must be a group to which you granted permissions to the Azure AD app. For details, see Create a Microsoft Azure AD application.
• Size: Select a VM size to be used for cloned VMs.
• OS disk type: Select a disk type to be used for cloned VMs.
