Scientific Linux desktop (VDI) in RHEV environment.

Latest response

Hi folks,

I need some help here regarding VDI setup environment in RHEV.

Scenario: A group of students need to access the Scientific Linux desktops assigned as a group, to groups of students. They will access the User Portal and boot up the VM. After they are done with their work, the VM will revert back to its original settings, erasing any work they saved locally. Each individual VMs will boot up with individual hostname settings; will not be the same hostname for the 10 VMs throughout.

Simple setup but there are some questions.

  1. I intend to create a pool of virtual machines based on a template with Stateless settings in place. Every other settings in pool remain default.

  2. For a pool of 10 VMs, I intend to have each of the VMs booting up with customized settings such as hostname1, hostname2..........hostname10. I am stuck at this.

  3. Stateless VMs doesn't seem to work.

If provisioning the VMs to students doesn't work (via virtual machine pool) as mentioned in the above method, I appreciate suggestions provided to me for this setup and its requirements. Thanks.
