On a VMware vCenter managed virtual machine, how does the VMware Horizon Agent know which Connection Server it should register with during the Instant Clone pool creation process?
The VMware Horizon Agent knows which Connection Server to register with during the Instant Clone pool creation process by querying VMware Tools for a GuestInfo Variable. This automated process allows the agent to identify and connect to the appropriate Connection Server without requiring manual input from the administrator during the installation or cloning operations.
In VMware Horizon environments, particularly during the Instant Clone pool creation process, the Horizon Agent does not require manual input from the administrator regarding which Connection Server to register with during its installation on the master image. Instead, the Horizon Agent automates this process by querying VMware Tools for a GuestInfo Variable12 during the Instant Clone pool creation process. This GuestInfo Variable12 contains information necessary for the Horizon Agent to identify and register with the appropriate Connection Server. This automated discovery process ensures seamless integration of the virtual machines into the Horizon environment without requiring manual intervention from administrators during the Horizon Agent installation on the master image.
The VMware Horizon Agent knows which Connection Server it should register with during the Instant Clone pool creation process by querying VMware Tools for a GuestInfo Variable during the cloning process (B). This allows the agent to automatically discover the correct Connection Server without manual input during the cloning operation
