These sessions discuss the following topics, blogs, and support articles: Tech Preview: Power operations during Local Host Cache (LHC) mode

"Citrix is excited to announce that power management during Local Host Cache/outage mode is now in tech preview. With this feature, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop service customers running their workloads on compatible hypervisors will be able to perform power operations when operating in LHC mode. Prior to this feature, VDA power operations were only available when the Citrix Cloud Connectors were in normal (not outage) mode. This prevented the end-user from initiating power actions like start/restart on their VDAs, and admins also had to navigate to the respective hypervisor consoles to perform power operations."
