Curtisi;
I was just reading something interesting about the VMWare InstantClones.
The following is from vmware-horizon-view-instant-clone-technology.pdf
Master VM: The VM that you create and configure as the model for the virtual desktops you plan to
deploy.
Master VM snapshot: A reproduction of a master VM exactly as it was when you took the snapshot. The snapshot
includes the state of the data on all VM disks.
Internal template VM: A linked clone of the master VM, based on the master VM snapshot. This VM is used for the
AD domain join.
Replica VM: A thin-provisioned full clone of the internal template VM. The View Storage Accelerator
feature uses a content-based read cache digest of this VM.
Running parent VM: A linked clone of the replica VM, based on a snapshot the system takes of the replica VM.
Instant clone: A desktop VM created from the memory and disk of the running parent VM. After the instant
clone is created, it shares the read disks of the replica VM, exactly like a linked clone.
I'm wondering if the root problem here is the instant clone is created from the Running Parent VM. ie. The spop folder not being deleted like when you prepare a Master Image.
Just trying to keep you posted.
