Adding and removing virtual disks remotely to a streaming machine

Abstract:

A client device includes a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to boot the client device and connect to a provisioning server via a network. The processor receives a streaming virtual disk image from the provisioning server based on a virtual disk configuration, receives a virtual disk change notification from the provisioning server, and determines changes to the virtual disk configuration based on the virtual disk change notification. The memory and the processor cooperate with the provisioning server to change the streaming virtual disk image based on the determined changes to the virtual disk configuration and without rebooting the client device.
