Why each option
After modifying a vDisk in Citrix Provisioning Services, the administrator must update the vDisk inventory and promote the vDisk to production before pooled target devices will stream the new version. Private image mode and recreating desktops are not part of the deployment workflow.
Updating the vDisk inventory synchronizes the Provisioning Services database so that all Provisioning Servers and device collections recognize the new or changed vDisk version and its properties. Without this step, target devices may reference stale metadata and not pick up the updated disk.
Promoting the vDisk to production changes its access mode from maintenance or test to production, which is the required state for pooled target devices to boot from the updated vDisk version. Until the vDisk is in production mode, Provisioning Services will not assign it to streaming target devices.
Private image mode grants a single target device exclusive read/write access to a vDisk so that changes can be made; it is used during the editing phase before updates are complete, not as a step for deploying the finished vDisk to a pool of desktops.
Provisioning Services target devices stream their OS from the vDisk at boot time, so updating the vDisk and promoting it to production is sufficient; recreating the pooled desktop objects in the delivery infrastructure is unnecessary and would cause downtime without benefit.
