You can move a Desktop from one Pool to another. This is generally used to increase its RAM, disk size, or number of CPUs. It will retain its contents, user assignment and template.
Limitations
Available for Azure VMs only.
Target pool must use the same OS as the version pool (for example, Windows 11 to Windows 11).
VM should already be assigned to a user.
Must be performed one desktop at a time.
Target region must be the same as the source region.
Procedure
Log in to Control
Go to “Resources > Cloud Desktop Pools > poolname > Actions > Upgrade.”
Once Upgrade is clicked, a new pop-up should come as the following:
Desktop Upgrade Page Please note: There are three options to migrate the VM to a different pool:
Click here to keep the Current Desktop Name -
Computer Name (Optional) -
Just upgrade, without making any change -
Select the destination pool from the target pool list and click on upgrade.
Pop-up is applicable when the checkbox to retain the desktop name is unchecked. All fields in the popup are mandatory.
Status during Upgrade
A temporary tab “Upgrade” can be shown while an upgrade is in progress or failed.
Source Pool during upgrade: Online
Source pool for upgrade fail: Error
Target Pool during upgrade: Online
Target Pool for upgrade fail: Fail
Cancel Upgrade
In case the Desktop upgrade fails because of some reason like the right credential not being given as a result the destination VM fails to join to the domain. Users can cancel the upgrade process by selecting the action, enabled only when the upgrade fails.
Once an “upgrade” or “cancel upgrade” is completed successfully, the Upgrade tab no longer visible.
