Creating or Modifying a Desktop Server Profile

Once a Desktop Server is configured, it is automatically brought online so that Resource Manager can schedule resources.

Procedure


Step 1 Click Resource Management in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Click Desktop.

Step 3 Click the link in the Name column for the Desktop Server you require, or click Add to create a new Desktop Server profile.

Step 4 Enter the name of the Desktop Server in the Name field.

When Desktop is installed with Resource Manager, the name "Local Desktop Server" displays by default.

The URL must be in the format http://<IP address>:<port number>/.

Ensure that the same H.323 ID is configured in the Desktop Server administrator web interface.

The Location field is visible only when the IP Topology tab is activated in the Resource Manager Configuration Tool under System Configuration > UI Settings.
