Hi guys ,
we are curently using citrix and are planning to migrate to wvd and currently in testing phase .
Can someone help to get answers of below questions that we have in wvd :
1. When a user login to a vm that is in a different hostpool , will he get his data ( profile data ) when he logs in to vm which is in host pool 2 ( considering the fact that in hostpool 1 , fslofgix is already setup and his profile successfully roams to different vms in hostpool 1.
2. i read that there is maximum 30gb of storage that is assigned to user vhd , what if it gets full , how can we get more space and are there any performance issues associated if consumed space dynamically increases ?
3. What if user profile corrupts on vhdx , will there be data loss ? how can we recover user profile on vhdx ? Any backup and recovery plan ?
Appreciate responses !!

Item 1 - Configuring FSLogix to point to the same profile from multiple host pools will work IF a user logs into one hos pool at a time. If a user is signing into multiple host pools simultaneously, as an example accessing remote applications from a remote desktop, then it is recommended that a unique profile is created for each host pool. It is possible to us read-only access to share a profile across host pools, but this is not generally recommended.

Item 2 - 30 GB is default max size. When using a VHDX the size on disk will dynamically grow to accommodate use.

Item 3 - Corruption of data within the profile may be handled by deleting the VHD(D), this would essentially be the equivalent of deleting the user profile and would come with the implications of doing so. It is also possible for an administrator, with appropriate permissions to the VHD and content to trouble shoot the data within the VHD similar to troubleshooting any issue with data within a standard profile.
