Configure the vDisk Target Device Personality Data

Configure the vDisk target device personality data in the Provisioning Server console so that Client Automation can treat the vDisk booted in the private mode as a golden template.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Properties dialog of the Target Device in Citrix Provisioning Services Console to which the vDisk is assigned.
  2. Click the Personality tab and add the following parameters:
    CA_DSM_GoldenTemplate

    Indicates whether the vDisk is a golden template or a virtual desktop in private mode. Set the value of this parameter as True.

    ProvisioningServer

    Specifies the IP address or host name of the provisioning server.

    ProvisioningServicesUser

    Specifies the user name that has access to the provisioning services farm or the user who is specified while connecting to the provisioning server console. Encrypt the user name using the sd_acmd encrypt command and pass the encrypted value.

    ProvisioningServicesPassword

    Specifies the password of the provisioning services user. Encrypt the password using the sd_acmd encrypt command and pass the encrypted value.

    ProvisioningServerPort

    Specifies the port of the provisioning server where the SOAP service runs. The default value is 54321.

    Note: Pass the provisioning server parameters as user parameters in the CA DSM Agent VDI Support Add-On Package while pushing Install Template Mode to the golden template. Use the following format:

    /pvsserver:<server IP/Name> /pvsuser:<encrypted username> /pvspwd:<encrypted pwd> /portno:<portno>
  3. Save the changes.

    The vDisk target device personality data is configured as a golden template.
