Convert a Static Host Pool to Dynamic

Warning: Nerdio Manager does not install the BgInfo Azure extension during any automation or management process. However, the BgInfo extension may be installed either through a scripted action directly, or unintentionally, as stated in the Azure PowerShell module issues report.

The following procedure allows to a user to convert a static host pool to a dynamic host pool. The dynamic host pool can then be configured for auto-scaling.

To convert a static host pool to dynamic:

  1. Locate the static host pool you wish to convert.

  2. Select Convert to Dynamic.

  3. On the confirmation window, select Confirm.

    Note: By default, the auto-scale option for this host pool is off. This new host pool has no user sessions. You can manually add and remove hosts to and from the pool. Alternatively, you can enable auto-scale. See Enable Dynamic Host Pool Auto-scaling for details.
