It's all abouts apps and user experience
After I upgraded my App Volumes environment to version 4, I decided to test out the VMware fling that was released at the same time as the product. The App Volumes Migration Utility allows you to migrate your AppStacks created by App Volumes 2.18 to the new AppStack format of App Volumes 4. Because VMware […]
As you might have seen, VMware released a brand new version of App Volumes. VMware introduces SAM (Simplified Application Management) into the product to redesign the whole process of Life Cycle Management. Surly that’s not the only update, so let’s take a look at the release notes to see what App Volumes 4 can offer […]
In this final part of the JMP series I’m creating a JMP assignment. JMP assignments are, in my opinion, a great way to set up default configurations for your VDI or RDSH environment. With a few clicks you combine an Instant Clone pool with a set of applications and user environment settings for a complete […]
With the JMP infrastructure all set, the time has come to configure JMP in the Management Console. Because JMP is made to manage all components within one interface, the settings and assignment pages are integrated in the Horizon View Management Console. Start a browser session to the Horizon View Management Console. Select the JMP […]
Part three: Configuring JMP After completing the JMP setup, we now need to set up time synchronization between the JMP server and Horizon View connection servers, configure SSL for the JMP server and export the SSL certificates from App Volumes, Horizon View and Active Directory for the JMP server to establish secure connections between all […]
Part two: Installing JMP In the previous part we’ve set up the database requirements for the JMP installation. The installation of JMP is, in my opinion, really easy and straight forward. Launch the setup and click Next. Accept the license agreement and click Next. No, I don’t want to allow HTTP traffic. Enter the name of the […]
When you talk about VMware Horizon (Instant Clones), App Volumes and User Environment Manager, you’re talking about JMP. JMP (pronounced jump) stands for Just-in-Time Management Platform and represents the capabilities of a VMware Horizon 7 Enterprise environment that delivers Just-in-Time Desktops and Apps in a flexible, fast, and personalized manner. With JMP assignments integrated in […]
In my previous blog I described how you can group your applications and divide them into different kinds of AppStacks. When you use these AppStacks, some of them can become fairly large because of the amount of applications that are used at a department. It’s also possible that two or more departments use the same application, […]
This week I ran into a problem when I was upgrading an App Volumes Manager from version 2.14 to 2.14.2. During the setup I got an error saying the creation of the “database.yml” file failed, but after clicking OK the setup of the manager continued and eventually completed “successfully”. After launching the App Volumes manager […]
Because it’s best practice to not have more than 10 AppStacks attached per target system, you need to group your applications. At the customer* where I’m working we grouped the applications by using a “Funnel” and dividing them into 3 different kinds of AppStacks, as you can see in the picture below. *We use Horizon View 7.5, […]
