A vDisk can be
assigned to a single target device or to all devices within a target device
collection. If a target device has more than one vDisk assigned to it, a list
of vdisks displays at boot time allowing the user to select the appropriate
vDisk to boot.
If one or more
versions exist for a vDisk, the version target devices use in Production is
either the highest numbered production version or an override version. For
details refer to 'Accessing a vDisk Version' in the Administrator's Guide. For
Maintenance and Test devices, the State of any non-production versions are
labeled.
A vDisk cannot be
assigned to a target device using drag-and-drop if that target device was
assigned a personal vDisks using the XenDesktop Wizard. A message dialog
displays if a vDisk is dragged and dropped onto a collection that contains one
or more target devices that use personal vDisks. The dialog provides the option
to continue by acknowledging that the vDisk being assigned will only be
assigned to those devices that are not currently assigned a personal vDisk.
Also, target devices that use personal vDisks cannot inherit the properties of
a target device that doesn't use a personal vDisk (copy/paste). To reassign a
vDisk to a target device that uses a personal vDisk see
Configure target devices that use personal vDisks.
