Tag the Template and Create a Snapshot or vDisk

Tagging helps you track the version of the template that is used by the virtual desktops. Tag the template to generate a template tag and associate the virtual desktops with their parent golden template.

Follow these steps:

1. Drag the Tag Template procedure from the CA DSM Agent add-on VDI package to the golden template on DSM Explorer.

   The procedure status appears, after executing the procedure.

2. Do one of the following actions depending on the desktop virtualization solution:
   • (For XenDesktop using Citrix Provisioning Services) Create the vDisk using XenConvert or other appropriate imaging tool.
   • (For VMware View and Citrix MCS) Shut down the virtual machine and create a snapshot.

   This action associates the snapshot or vDisk with the template tag.

The snapshot or vDisk are created and associated with the golden template using the template tag.
