Standalone IDV Host Configuration

Once IDV Host is provisioned and images are synchronized, IDV Host can be configured as a standalone mode without an IDV Server. To configure IDV Host to be in a standalone mode, the configuration can be found in /etc/environment.

List of configurations:

• NFS_​MOUNT – For IDV Host to indicate whether to wait for NFS
• NFS_​TIMEOUT – The duration for IDV Host to wait for NFS
• RUN_​WITHOUT_​MOUNT – To indicate whether to spawn VMs if the NFS mount fails

To configure an IDV Host to be in a standalone mode, change the NFS_​MOUNT parameter to ‘0’. Then, the IDV Host will not wait for NFS to be mounted, and the VM spawning will be significantly faster.
