Click the Create ZFS Volume button: Enter a ZFS Volume Name, specify the volume size, then click Add ZFS Volume: Navigate to Services > Core, and turn on iSCSI:
Workload Balancing is a XenServer appliance that balances your pool by relocating virtual machines onto the best possible servers for their workload in a resource pool. For example, Workload Balancing can:
Balance virtual-machine workloads across hosts in a XenServer resource pool Determine the best host on which to start a virtual machine Determine the best host on which to power on a virtual machine that you powered off Determine the best host for each of the host’s virtual machines when you put that host into Maintenance mode Note: Workload Balancing is available in Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition or higher.
Access Data Store
While there is no built-in backup scheduler with Access, Presentation Server includes the DSMAINT BACKUP command for backing up Access Data Stores only. Citrix recommends that this command be executed daily using a scheduler script. WARNING! Do not attempt to backup Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases using this command.
MDB: A file with the MDB file extension is a Microsoft Access Database file.
Moving / Restoring an Access Database
Citrix Access Gateway is a secure application access solution that provides administrators granular application-level policy and action controls to secure access to applications and data while allowing users to work from anywhere. It gives IT administrators a single point of control and tools to help ensure compliance with regulations and the highest levels of information security across and outside the enterprise. At the same time, it empowers users with a single point of access—optimized for roles, devices, and networks—to the enterprise applications and data they need.
This below process is for Presentation Server 4.5
Open the first farm and:
Open the Access Management Console at Web Interface Server, click “Configuration Tool” -> “Web Interface” –> right click on the site you created and select “Manage Server Farm” -> Add second Farm
In Citrix Xenapp 5.0,
Open AMC and select the website you have created, right click and select Manage Server Farm–> Add second farm.
The XenApp planning and installation documentation uses the following terminology.
Multi-user environment
An environment, including XenApp and Terminal Services, where applications are published on servers for use by multiple users simultaneously.
Application servers
The farm servers that host published applications.
Infrastructure servers
The farm servers that host services such as the data store or the license server. Typically, they do not host published applications.
Production farm
A farm that is in regular use and accessed by users.
The ICA Client This is the original name of the client software that seemed to work fine for ten years. If we were scientists, this would be our ‘control.’ Historically there were Program Neighborhood, Program Neighborhood Agent, and Web packages available. You could use any of the three packages to connect to seamless published apps or to full desktops.
The XenApp Plugin This is the new (current) name for the ICA client.
Member servers to ZDC communication
The ZDC will send an IMA ping to each MetaFrame server periodically to make sure that they are still alive. This happens by default every 60 seconds.The ZDC also requests a load level from a server if it has not received a load update for more that 5 mimutes.
Grace Period for Data Store and License Server
Background
License Server will work normally with MetaFrame Presentation Server after the MetaFrame Server looses the connectivity to its Data Store.
RegScanner(RegistryScanner)- Scan and find values in the Registry. XDPing - The XDPing tool is a command-line based application which automates the process of checking for the causes of common configuration issues in a XenDesktop environment. More Info HERE
