Create an Amulet Hotkey CoreStation machine catalog (Preview)

Create machine catalogs describes the generic machine-catalog workflow. The following information covers Amulet Hotkey CoreStation specific details.

Note:

  • Before creating an Amulet Hotkey CoreStation catalog, complete Connection to Amulet Hotkey CoreStation.
  • Make sure to have one or more Amulet Hotkey CoreStation nodes available and install VDAs on those nodes.
  • For information about creating the initial Amulet Hotkey CoreStation cartridge image, see the OS Deployment on CoreStation User Guide.

You can create an Amulet Hotkey CoreStation machine catalog using:

  • Studio
  • PowerShell commands

Using Studio

In the Machine Catalog Setup wizard:

  1. On the Operating System page, select Multi-session OS or Single-session OS.
  2. On the Machine Management page, select Machines that are power managed and Another service or technology.
  3. On the Virtual Machines page, add machines and their Active Directory machine accounts. You can do either of the following:
    • Click Add Machines to add machines manually. The Select VMs window appears. Expand the Amulet Hotkey CoreStation enclosure connection you created earlier and select the nodes you want to add. Then add the associated machine account names.
    • Click Add CSV File to bulk add machines. For information about using CSV files to add machines, see Use CSV files to bulk add machines to a catalog.

The Scopes and Summary pages do not contain Amulet Hotkey CoreStation-specific information.

Using PowerShell commands

Run New-BrokerCatalog and New-BrokerMachine PowerShell commands to create a broker catalog and import machines to the broker catalog.

For example:

New-BrokerCatalog -AllocationType "Random" -IsRemotePC $False -MachinesArePhysical $False -MinimumFunctionalLevel "L7_20" -Name "BurMC" -PersistUserChanges "OnLocal" -ProvisioningType "Manual" -Scope @() -SessionSupport "MultiSession" -ZoneUid "e166e2cb-25dc-4578-bc07-bcf2a82d1463"
New-BrokerMachine -CatalogUid 3 -HostedMachineId "c10n1" -HypervisorConnectionUid 4 -IsReserved $False -MachineName "S-1-5-21-2589939477-3963209805-1860259709-1121"
