View the vDisk Inventory

After you boot the vDisk in private mode, it is added as a managed entity in Client Automation. Here is an example for Citrix XenDesktop.

Follow these steps: (in DSM Explorer):

1. Navigate to the Computers and Users, All Computers, vDisk_name, Inventory, Operating System node.

   vDisk_name

   Specifies the vDisk name in the FarmName-StoreName-vDisk.Name format.

2. Select the Template Settings subfolder to view the values for the following attributes:

   IsGoldenTemplate

   Indicates whether an agent is a golden template (True) or a virtual desktop (False). The value is set to true when a master vDisk or clone of a master vDisk is booted in private mode for template management.

   TemplateHostUUID

   Specifies the host UUID of the golden template. For a master vDisk, the hostuuid is golden template and master vDisk for cloned vDisk.

   For more information, see How vDisk Clones are Handled.

   TemplateName

   Specifies the name of the golden template.

   TemplateTag

   Indicates the date and time at which the golden template was last tagged.

3. Click the Template History node to view the template history for the vDisk. You can see the history of updates to the golden template.
4. Click Virtualization, Citrix XenvDisks.

   The farm, store, and site of the vDisk is displayed.
