To resolve the issue where the vRealize Operations Manager for VMware Horizon dashboards are all blank except for the Horizon Adapter Self Health dashboard, two actions are necessary. Firstly, adding a vRealize Operations for Horizon License Key ensures that the software is authorized to monitor and manage Horizon environments. Secondly, creating an instance of the Horizon Adapter establishes the connection between vRealize Operations Manager and the Horizon environment, allowing it to collect and display data in the dashboards.
Writable Volumes in VMware can be assigned to VDI Desktops, RDS Session Hosts, and Users. Writable Volumes are typically used in virtual desktop environments to provide users with personalized settings and files, which makes VDI Desktops and RDS Session Hosts suitable for this purpose. Additionally, individual Users can also have Writable Volumes assigned to them to ensure their data is consistently available across sessions. Groups and AppStacks, on the other hand, are used differently within VMware configurations and do not receive Writable Volumes assignments.
To enable the Microsoft Windows desktop pool to report metrics to vRealize Operations Manager for Horizon, it is essential to verify that the desktop pool has been included in the vRealize Operations for Horizon Broker Agent configuration. This configuration ensures that the necessary communication and data collection settings are in place, allowing the desktops to send performance metrics to vRealize Operations Manager. Without proper inclusion in the Broker Agent configuration, the desktops cannot report their metrics correctly.
When cloning an Automated Desktop Pool from an existing pool, the existing pool can contain linked clones. Manual desktops, instant clones, and RDS desktops are not applicable for cloning in this context. This restriction is based on the common VMware Horizon 7 environments, where linked clones are a supported cloning method.
When purchasing vSphere Desktop licenses through Horizon bundles, these licenses are provided on a per-concurrent-connection basis rather than per-host basis. Therefore, you can deploy as many ESXi hosts as required to support the licensed number of concurrent connections, implying an unlimited number of hosts may receive vSphere Desktop licenses.
