Assigning a template to a pool or group

When you create VDI host pools (VDI templates) or RD Session Host groups (RDSH templates), you can assign a template to a pool or group. This can be done when you create or modify a pool or group, or it can be done from the Templates tab.

To assign a template to a pool or group:

1. On the Templates tab, select a template. Depending on the selected template type (VDI or RDSH) do one of the following:
   • VDI: Click Tasks > Assign to pool .
   • RDSH: Click Tasks > Assign to group .
2. A dialog opens listing existing VDI host pools or RD Session Host groups. Host pools and groups that already have a template assigned are not shown in this list by default. To display them, select the Show groups / pools with assigned template option. The template that they are currently using is displayed in the Template column.
3. Select one or mote host pools or groups and click OK .

To remove a template from a host pool or group:

1. Select a template and click Tasks > Remove from pool or Remove from group .
2. A dialog opens listing all host pools or groups to which this template is assigned.
3. Select the host pools or groups to remove the template from and click OK .

Note that if a host pool or group has guest VMs created from the template that you are removing, they will be removed as well. A message is displayed where you need to confirm the removal.
