Reducing Adobe Flash Bandwidth - VMware View Manager 4.5 Admin Manual

VMware View Administrator's Guide
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, click Inventory > Pools.
2 Select a desktop pool and click Delete.
3 Choose how to delete the pool.
Option
Pool that contains full virtual-
machine desktops
Linked-clone pool with View
Composer persistent disks
Linked-clone pool without View
Composer persistent disks
The desktop pool is removed from View Connection Server. If you keep the virtual machines in vCenter Server,
View Manager cannot access them.
When you delete a desktop pool from View Manager, linked-clone computer accounts are removed from Active
Directory. Full virtual machine accounts remain in Active Directory. To remove these accounts, you must
manually delete them from Active Directory.
When you delete a pool that contains local desktops, the datacenter copies of the desktops are removed from
View Manager. The local desktops no longer function when the clients contact View Connection Server or the
maximum time without server contact is exceeded. If you choose to keep full virtual machines in vCenter
Server or detach and save View Composer persistent disks, changes that users made on their local desktops
since the last replication or check-out are not preserved in the virtual machines or persistent disks.

Reducing Adobe Flash Bandwidth

You can reduce the amount of bandwidth used by Adobe Flash content that runs in View desktop sessions.
This reduction can improve the overall browsing experience and make other applications that run in the
desktop more responsive.
Configure Adobe Flash Quality and Throttling
You can set Adobe Flash quality and throttling modes to reduce the amount of bandwidth that is used by
Adobe Flash content in View desktops.
Prerequisites
Familiarize yourself with Adobe Flash quality and throttling settings. See
Throttling," on page 181.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, click Inventory > Pools.
2 Select a pool and click Edit.

Description
Choose whether to keep or delete the virtual machines in vCenter Server.
If you delete the virtual machines from disk, users in active sessions are
disconnected from their desktops.
If you keep the virtual machines in vCenter Server, choose whether to let
users in active sessions stay connected to their desktops or disconnect them.
Choose whether to detach or delete the persistent disks when the desktops
are deleted.
In both cases, vCenter Server deletes the linked-clone virtual machines from
disk. Users in currently active sessions are disconnected from their linked-
clone desktops.
If you detach a persistent disk, it can be attached to another desktop. You can
store detached persistent disks in the same datastore or a different one.
You can also save the OS disks in vCenter Server so that data can be retrieved
from them. Each desktop's OS data is saved with a copy of the base-image
disk, so the stored disks can be larger than the original linked-clone OS disks.
vCenter Server deletes the linked-clone virtual machines from disk. Users in
currently active sessions are disconnected from their linked-clone desktops.
