Measures reported by DesktopGroupsTest
Virtual desktop groups consist of virtual desktops that are pooled, pre-assigned, or assigned on first use. Each group can contain only one type of desktop. These virtual desktops can run on PCs, blades, or virtual machines (VMs) provided through a virtualization infrastructure.
Virtual desktops in pooled groups are allocated to users on a per-session, first-come-first-served basis. You can configure pools of VMs so that any change that the user makes to the desktop during a session is lost when the user logs off from the desktop. Virtual desktops in pre-assigned groups are permanently assigned to an individual user as soon as the group is created. Whenever a user requests a desktop, they are always connected to the same one. As a result, the user can safely customize the desktop to suit his or her own needs. Virtual desktops in assigned-on-first-use groups are permanently assigned to the first user to connect to them. As with pre-assigned desktops, the user can then safely customize the desktop.
This test auto-discovers the desktop groups managed by each DDC and reports the powered-on status, registration status, and usage of the each type of desktop within each group.
The measures
made by this test are as
follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Powered_On_VDs |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type that in this group that are currently powered on.
|
Number |
To know the details of the powered-on desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.
|
| Powered_Off_VDs |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently powered off.
|
Number |
To know the details of the powered-off desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.
|
| VDs_With_Users |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently in use.
|
Number |
To know the details of the desktops that are in use, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.The detailed diagnosis will reveal the name of the desktops that are being used, the desktop group to which they belong, the user to whom they have been assigned (in case of the Assigned descriptor; for Pooled desktops, the Assigned User column will typically be empty), the user who is currently logged in to the desktop, and current status of the desktop.
|
| Idle_VDs |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently idle - i.e., available for use.
|
Number |
To know the details of the desktops that are free, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.
|
| Not_Registered_VDs |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently unregistered.
|
Number |
To know the details of the unregistered desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. The detailed diagnosis will reveal the name of the desktops that are unregistered, the desktop group to which they belong, and the user to whom they have been assigned (in case of the Assigned descriptor; for Pooled desktops, the Assigned User column will typically be empty.
|
| Per_VDs_With_Users |
Indicates the percentage of virtual desktops that are currently in use.
|
Percent |
A high value for this measure is a cause for concern, as it indicates that the virtual desktops in this group of this type have been utilized excessively. Such relentless usage of the VMs, can sometimes degrade the performance of the host on which the VMs are operating.
|
| Total_VDs
|
Indicates the total number of virtual desktops in this group.
|
Number |
|
| Unknown_VDs
|
Indicates the number of virtual desktops in this group that are currently in an 'Unknown' powerstate.
