About New Pool Settings
In VDI, a pool is defined as a collection of desktops. With VDI 3.1, you can take advantage of configuration settings that are only applied to a selected pool, managed by the VDI Core.
Per Pool RDP Configuration
With VDI 3.1, you can configure the RDP options to be used by Sun Ray sessions when users connect to their desktops. A wide range of options including locale, keyboard layout, color depth, theming, redirection and more are configurable on a per pool basis using the VDI administration console or CLI. These settings will be used by Sun Ray sessions connecting to desktops managed by any of the currently supported VDI desktop provider types.
For details on how to enable this feature, see the How to Configure RDP Options Per Pool page.
About the Smart Card Removal Policy
With VDI 3.1, you can control what should happen to a user's desktop after a smartcard is removed from a Sun Ray DTU. Using the Smart Card Removal Policy, you can indicate that a user's desktop should be shut down, suspended, or recycled when the smart card has been out of a DTU for a specific length of time. If the user reinserts a smart card before the specified time has elapsed, the associated action on the desktop will be canceled. The Smart Card Removal Policy is configurable per pool and is available for all Sun VirtualBox, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vCenter pools. This policy may be configured using the VDI Manager or CLI.
 | Recycling is applied only to desktops that have flexible assignments. Choosing the recycle option for your Smart Card Removal Policy will have no effect on personally assigned desktops. |
For details on how to enable this feature, see the How to Configure Smart Card Removal page.
About Running Available Desktops
With VDI 3.1, you can take advantage of faster access to desktops by using the Running Available Desktops feature. For each of your desktop pools, you can ensure that any number of available desktops will be maintained in the running state. This can considerably reduce the time taken to deliver desktop sessions to your users.
