At the top of the list was Instant Clones. After having the chance to install Horizon 7 and work with it, I wanted to share my experience creating Instant Clone desktop pools and working with Instant Clone desktops.</p> <span class="a12blub">An Introduction to Instant Clones</span> <br> VMware announced the technology behind Instant Clones (Fargo/VMFork) during a keynote speech at VMworld 2014. VMFork allows a running virtual machine (VM) to be forked to a child clone. This child clone initially uses the same real memory and disk space as its parent; then, when a write to the memory or disk occurs, it stores this data in a delta space. Because it forks a running VM, the clones can be created very quickly; as quick as one or two seconds. <div class="ad"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-box_c1-0006"> <script type="text/javascript"> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-box_c1-0006'); }); </script> <noscript> <a href="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=/5978/eof.vrt&t=item%253d51e6ac92_a33e_48ce_992c_a5a7ad882c5a%26pos%253dbox_c1%26Topic%253dDesktop_Virtualization%252cPC_Virtualization%252cApplication_Virtualization%252cvSphere%252cVirtualization_Management&sz=300x250|1x1&tile=6&c=123456789" target="_blank" > <img src="https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/5978/eof.vrt&t=item%253d51e6ac92_a33e_48ce_992c_a5a7ad882c5a%26pos%253dbox_c1%26Topic%253dDesktop_Virtualization%252cPC_Virtualization%252cApplication_Virtualization%252cvSphere%252cVirtualization_Management&sz=300x250|1x1&tile=6&c=123456789" border="0" alt="" /> </a> </noscript> </div> </div> <br /><p> <p> Horizon 7 is the first VMware product to use VMFork. The ability to spin up new desktops using Instant Clone in seconds translates into some interesting business offerings, such as just-in-time (JIT) and "disposable" virtual desktops. JIT clones negate the need to have a virtual desktop on standby in order to satisfy the needs of users as they log into their desktops, since desktops can be instantiated in seconds rather than minutes. By doing this, resources such as CPU cycles, RAM and disk space don't need to be unnecessarily consumed, allowing them to be conserved for more productive purposes. The disposable designation occurs every time a user logs off the desktop and the current desktop is destroyed; a fresh, new desktop is created next time they log on.</p> <span class="a12blub">Creating a Master Image</span><br> The requirements for an Instant Clone parent image are few and straightforward: Windows 7 or Windows 10 as the base image, HW version 11 for the virtual desktop, VMXNET3 for the NIC, and the Instant Clone agent installed on the base image (see <strong>Figure 1</strong>). A snapshot is taken once the master image has been created, and this snapshot is what the clones will be based on.</p> <figure> <a href="~/media/ECG/virtualizationreview/Images/2016/03/0316vrm_FentonInstantCloneTutorialFig1.ashx" target="_blank"> <img alt="" src="~/media/ECG/virtualizationreview/Images/2016/03/0316vrm_FentonInstantCloneTutorialFig1s.ashx"> </a> <figcaption> <b>[Click on image for larger view.]</b> <em>Figure 1.</em> Setup parameters for Instant Clone. </figcaption> </figure> <span class="a12blub">Creating an Instant Clone Pool</span> <br> The initial release of Instant Clone only supports shared datastores (VMFS or VSAN) in a clustered environment. The ESXi servers must be running vSphere v6 Update 1, and View Storage Accelerator must be enabled on the vCenter. View Storage Accelerator can be enabled when a vCenter Server is associated with the View Connection server (see <strong>Figure 2</strong> ). <figure> <a href="~/media/ECG/virtualizationreview/Images/2016/03/0316vrm_FentonInstantCloneTutorialFig2.ashx" target="_blank"> <img alt="" src="~/media/ECG/virtualizationreview/Images/2016/03/0316vrm_FentonInstantCloneTutorialFig2s.ashx"> </a> <figcaption> <b>[Click on image for larger view.]</b> <em>Figure 2.</em> Enabling View Storage Accelerator. </figcaption> </figure> Instant Clone uses an "Instant Clone Domain Administrator" to handle the Active Directory's needs for the cloned desktops.

After a master VM has been created, and a snapshot has been taken of it, the administrator selects the "Add" tab from the desktop pool window. As only automated desktop pools are supported, this type of pool needs to be selected. Floating user assignments should be selected because dedicated user assignments are not supported.

If you opt to have the machines created on demand, you can also specify the number of spare machines to have on standby. These standby machines will be fully created and ready to go. If you anticipate hundreds of users logging on at once it's most efficient to have them created in advance, even though it takes only a few seconds to create an Instant Clone virtual desktop.
