Persistent VM Used Count Mismatch in Control

Prev Next


A mismatch can appear when the Used count shown in Control does not match the actual number of assigned desktops in the pool.

Example: In a pool with 3 desktops (2 assigned, 1 unassigned), the expected count is: Used: 2 / Available: 1

Note: A desktop assigned to a user is counted as Used even if its Agent status is Error/Failed. Suspended desktops are excluded from both the Used and Available counts.

How to Fix the Count Mismatch

  1. Verify desktop assignments in both Control and Watch at the pool level.

    • Check if every desktop that shows as assigned in Control also shows as assigned in Watch.

  2. If you find a desktop assigned in Control but not in Watch, do either of the following:

    • Reboot the desktop from Control, this clears stale/cached assignments, OR

    • Reassign the desktop to the user from Control.

  3. If the Used count still appears incorrect after performing the above steps, open a ticket with Workspot Support for deeper investigation.
