Vmware Horizon View Protocol Failure Control
Vmware Horizon View Protocol Failure Rate

As a part of my project I was working with VMware Horizon View 7 with VSAN Datastore where I got a chance to learn APP VOLUME and INSTANT CLONING feature by VMware. These features really interesting where VMware tried beat other VDI competitors

First, we must enable the VMware Horizon View Script Host Service on each View Desktop where we want View to run the start session script (e.g., on the base image for a Linked Clone Pool). The service is disabled by default. To configure the VMware View Script Host Service: Start the Windows Services tool by entering msc in the command prompt. As a part of my project I was working with VMware Horizon View 7 with VSAN Datastore where I got a chance to learn APP VOLUME and INSTANT CLONING feature by VMware. These features really interesting where VMware tried beat other VDI competitors I had created a pool of 250 virtual desktops with some task. I wanted to extend it to a bunch of physical desktops which are used for 3D work. So I've followed a VMWare guide and basically installed the Horizon agent onto a PC. It registered into the Connection server with no issues, and shows as available. Added it to a pool, set Blast as the protocol, added a user to the assignment, job done!

I had created a pool of 250 virtual desktops with some task, knowledge and power users.I was testing boot storm scenarios with VSAN datastore. while doing so I rebooted 250 Virtual desktops from vCenter and trying capturing time to see it available in View Administrator which took approximately 14 Min.

Out 250 , 247 virtual desktops started showing available however 3 virtual desktops were showing Protocol failure error .

I tried visiting lot of blog but couldn’t find any concrete solution to this, only questioned asked on the blog hence I decided to note down the steps and share the resolution with everyone.

Problem Statement : VMware Horizon View 7 – Protocol Failure error for Virtual Desktops

Linear models in statistics rencher solution manual. Resolution :

Go to View Administrator and check and note down name for desktops which are showing “Protocol Failure” error say e.g. Machine-43
Go to vCenter and login to Desktop Machine-43 and check view Administrator where it shows status for the machine as “Connected”, now sign-out immediately
Go to web Client > Power> Restart Guest and reboot the machine
