In this example you'll see how to modify the features of This page shows information about using flexVDI Dashboard to modify a Host that has been previously created through with the flexvmflexvdi-config configuration tool.
You must be careful when modifying those features configuring Hosts as a bad configuration can stop you from starting your Hostall the Guests running on it.
If you want to change those these features, go to the Guest/Host/Pool section in the left part of the main window, select the Host and then open the drop-down menu. You must select Select the "Modify" option.
The following window will be displayed where must provide the following informationA window with the following fields will be shown:
- Host description: a short description of the Host machine, intended usage, notes on it...
- Host address. flexVM Manager uses this address in order to manage its resources
- Host VDI Address
- CPU Overcommit. address: name or IP address which will be used by flexVDI Manager and other Hosts in the infraestructure (if any) to access the Host and send requests.
- Host VDI Address: name or IP address which end users with flexVDI Client will use to reach the flexVDI Host to see and control their Guests. These users can be in a different network, behind a firewall, and access the Host through a different network interface. If in doubt, ask your network administrator.
- CPU Overcommit: This feature allows you to assign to your Guests more CPU CPUs than the one which amount that is initially available at the Hostavailable in the Hosts. A value which is equal to 1.0 means you can assign the same number of physical CPUs. 2.0 of 1 means that you can have as much total virtual CPUs in your Guests as physical CPUs you have in your Hosts. 2 means you can assign twice as much Virtual CPUs, and so on.
- RAM Overcommit: This feature allows you to assign to your Guests more RAM than the one which what is initially available at in the Hosts. A The value which is equal to 1.0 means you can assign the same number of physical RAM. 2.0 means you can assign twice, and so onin this field is the available/real ratio. Use this with care, as most other operating systems use all the RAM that is available in their hardware.
Once you have modified those values, press "Finish" in order to save the changes.
