Configure optical drive devices

By default, a new cloud computer is bound to a system-generated default policy that cannot be modified. An administrator must create a custom cloud computer policy and bind it to the cloud computer.

1. Log on to the Elastic Desktop Service Enterprise console.

2. In the left navigation pane, choose Operation & Maintenance > Policies.

3. On the Policies page, click Create Policy.

4. On the Create Policy page, specify a Policy Name, configure the policy settings as needed, and then click OK.

   After the policy is created, you can view it in the list on the Policies page.

5. In the left navigation pane, choose Resources > Cloud Computers - Enterprise Edition.

6. On the Cloud Computers - Enterprise Edition page, perform one of the following operations:

   • To change the policy for a single cloud computer, find the target cloud computer, click More in the Actions column, and then select Change Policy.

   • To change the policy for multiple cloud computers, select one or more cloud computers, and then choose More > Change Policy at the bottom of the page.

7. In the Change Policy panel, on the Required Policy tab, click Change Policy. Select the new custom policy and click OK.

   Note

   If a cloud computer belongs to a resource group that already has an associated policy, you cannot change the policy for the cloud computer directly. You must either change the policy associated with the resource group or move the cloud computer out of the resource group before changing its policy.

8. At the bottom of the Change Policy panel, click OK, and then click Confirm Change.

If a cloud computer is already bound to a custom policy, the administrator can modify the policy directly in the console without re-binding it.

1. Log on to the Elastic Desktop Service Enterprise console.

2. In the left navigation pane, choose Operation & Maintenance > Policies.

3. On the Policies page, find the custom policy that you want to modify and click Modify Policy in the Actions column.

4. On the Modify Policy page, update the policy settings as needed and click OK.

• Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Local Disk Mapping > Local Disk Mapping.

• Configuration requirements: Set Local Disk Mapping to Read/Write or Read-only.

  

• Method 1: Globally enable USB redirection

  • Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Redirection > USB Redirection.

  • Configuration requirements: Turn on the USB Redirection switch.

    

• Method 2: Enable USB redirection for specific USB devices by using a peripheral whitelist

  After you globally enable USB redirection, all USB devices can connect to the cloud computers associated with the policy. If you do not want all USB devices to connect to the cloud computers associated with the policy, you can turn off the USB Redirection switch and enable USB redirection for specific USB devices by adding a peripheral whitelist.

  • Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Blacklist/Whitelist > Add Rule.

  • Configuration requirements: Enter the device name, VID, PID, and set Blacklist/Whitelist to Whitelist.

    

To prevent end users from configuring incorrectly on the client, administrators can create custom peripheral rules in the cloud computer policy. These rules have higher priority than the custom configurations specified by end users on the client. For information about the priority of peripheral policies in different dimensions, see Policy priority.

• Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Management Rule > Add Custom Peripheral Rule.

• Setting: Set Device Type to Optical Drive, enter the device name, VID, and PID, and set Redirect Mode to USB Redirection.
