Step 6 - Configure DVMs/Deploy Pano Zero Clients

Duration: 1+ Hours, depending on the number of DVMs being configured and the number of applications to be installed in each, as well as whether any connectivity problems are found on the network and whether the Pano Zero Clients are being set up on a limited test network or distributed to users' normal work locations.

I. Configure DVMs to match your Use Cases

The next step is to customize the DVMs to your environment and your specific user needs.  If your Use Cases for your evaluation all require the same set of applications, then simply connect to the DVM and install the applications into the DVMs.  If your Use Cases have different applications, it is possible to have more than one template. Simply clone the base DVM image used for your first template, add your specific applications, and then convert them to be a new template.

After your templates are loaded with the correct applications, you can create DVM Collections (see help: Create DVM Collections) in Pano Controller so that your users can log into the newly provisioned desktop. You may re-use the Pooled Desktops Collection created in Step 5, or follow that process to create a different DVM Collection.  It is possible to have multiple types of Device and User Based Collections configured as necessary for your different user and workstation populations and configurations.

II. Deploy Pano Zero Client to users

The final step of installing the Pano System is to deploy Pano Zero Client hardware on your test network.

Using the supplied AC power adapter and an Ethernet network connection, simply connect the Pano Zero Client to the network along with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals. There is no configuration to perform on the device, one of the many benefits of a true zero client VDI endpoint.

As soon as a Pano Zero Client is connected to a network, it attempts to locate the network services it needs to operate. If you are testing the Pano System on an isolated network, you need to make sure that the devices can see both a DHCP server and the Pano Controller virtual appliance. Both of these must be on the same physical and logical subnet as the Pano Zero Client.  If you have any connectivity problems, or if the Pano Button does not end up glowing solid blue, please see help:Troubleshoot Networking Problems or verify connectivity as in Step 4.
