Environment
- App Control: All Versions
Symptoms
VDI dominant environment cause huge server backlog
Cause
- Clone inventory configuration property when set to "All Files" cause App Control Server to automatically initialize a clone's file inventory
based on the files present on the template - As soon as a clone is detected, the inventory from its template is copied into the clone’s inventory
- Any future file additions or changes are also applied to the clone inventory. This is the default setting
- This cause clone to sync up duplicate files inherited from the template and hence contributing to the backlog.
Resolution
For non-persistent VDIs, consider configuring clone inventory property to "New and modified files" to avoid syncing duplicate files as follows:
- Login to App Control Console
- Navigate to Assets -> Computers
- Locate the template computer using the Template Computers view or some other method
- Click on the View Details button or the template computer name.
- Click on the Template Settings tab
- In the Clone Inventory field, choose the radio button for "New and Modified files"
- Click Save
