> DVM Power Management
> The Pano Manager has the ability to power DVMs on and off based on policies. By default, the Pano Manager enforces only the policies that turn DVMs on. If you want the Pano Manager to also enforce the policies that turn DVMs off, select the Power Off Enabled option in the collection properties screen.
> For the purposes of power management, DVMs can be:

> • | Active DVMs - DVMs that are in use (i.e. a Windows session is in progress) or that have been assigned to users.

> • | Extra DVMs - DVMs that are not in a user session and are not assigned to a user. The Pano Manager allows you to specify how many extra DVMs to create, and how many of these should be powered on. This capability enables users to log on to a DVM quickly without having to wait for a new DVM to be created. If there are more DVMs than the sum of Active and Extra DVMs, those DVMs will be powered off, if the Power Off Enabled option is selected.

> The power management policies are different for each type of DVM collection:

> • | For Pooled Desktops collection type, Automatic Login collection type, Windows Login collection type, and Different Accounts w/ Automatic Login collection type

> ° | Active - automatically powered on.

> ° | Extra - automatically managed based on the values specified in Extra Powered On and Extra Powered Off values. If there are more DVMs than the Sum of Active and Extra DVMs then those DVMs will be powered off.

> ° | Surplus - automatically powered off, unless the Power Off option is disabled.

> • | For Permanently Assigned Desktops collection type

> ° | Active - the power states of active DVMs (DVMs that have been assigned to users) are not managed by the Pano Manager. The power state of a DVM is controlled by the end user and/or by VirtualCenter. The user of the DVM has the ability to control the power state of the DVM through the Pano Control Panel’s Optional screen and when logging on to the DVM via the Pano device. Once logged into the DVM, the user can also use the Windows Security dialog box to control the power state of the DVM. A DVM’s power state can also be controlled through VirtualCenter.

> ° | Extra - automatically managed based on the values specified in Extra Powered On and Extra Powered Off values.

> • | For Existing Desktops collection type

> The power states of DVMs in a Existing Desktops collection type are not managed by the Pano Manager. The power state of a DVM is controlled by the end user and/or by VirtualCenter.
> The user has the ability to control the power state of the DVM through the Pano Options screen when logging on to the system via the Pano device. Once logged into the DVM, the user can also use the Windows Security dialog box to control the power state of the DVM.
