We use XenDesktop 7 and Atlantis ILIO Diskless for our VDI environment. ILIO functions as a storage device. \u00a0The ILIO VM should occasionally be rebooted per the documentation, or the datastore can fill over time. \u00a0The script below is what we use to reboot our VMs daily, and the ILIO devices every other day. \u00a0Depending on utilization, you can go much longer so do test and follow your documentation.<\/p>\n
