vSphere Network Health Check Saves The Day!
Was doing a Proof of Concept for Horizon View at one customer with a partner. The infrastructure was setup and network trunked on the uplinks. We started out deploying all the components leveraging on customer's Active Directory, DHCP server and as well as Database. All was well and setup but two things was encountered: Every Desktop pools will always have some desktops not getting IP address. Horizon View client receive connection error after choosing a desktop or while using a desktop. Spend a bit of time troubleshooting by the partner. Things like using a Windows DHCP instead of Linux (customer's was linux DHCP) and putting Horizon View Connection Server in the same subnet as the Desktops. I took over to see what have gone wrong since my partner has already done so many work. Did some tests with my colleague, Wei Chiang who is strong in networking. We managed to isolate the issue and even set static IP on those Desktops that does not have IP howeve...
