Reason I'm asking this is , I was doing some testing with appvolume , I have removed the NIC card of the VDI machine , my understanding was agent is communicating over the VM network to app volume manager all the time (TCP 80 /443) but interestingly once I remove the NIC card app-stacks are still assigned to the machine.
Then I thought of powering off & powering on the machine with NIC card removed and to observe the behavior ,after a power off app-stacks are removing and when I do the power on appastacks are attaching.
Then I thought of assigning a new app-stack to this machine which don't have an NIC card ,that is also working fine as it is attached.
I can guess something here but do you have any insights to this ?! . I'm curious to know what are the back end operation happening during poweroff , poweron , attaching new appstack and detaching the existing appstack ?.
