Creating a GPU-enabled desktop pool
In the previous sections, we have covered creating desktop pools using different build options (Linked/full/Instant Clones), and for dedicated and floating assignments, as well as a manual desktop pool. These could have potentially been configured that way based on the end user's requirements.
Another use case for creating a desktop pool is when you have a specific hardware requirement for the virtual desktop machine, such as a high-end graphics cards for taking advantage of either vSGA or vDGA. We have covered previously the building of a virtual desktop machine that is GPU-enabled. In this section, we will build a desktop pool specifically for this virtual desktop machine.
To create the desktop pool, follow the steps as described here:
From the Inventory section, click Desktop Pools (1), and then click the Add... button (2).
Click the radio button for Manual Desktop Pool from the pool type menu and click the Next > button to continue.
