This document presents best practices for using NetApp® storage systems as networked attached storage solutions for Citrix®
XenServer.
As customers look at virtualizng Xenapp implementations, Citrix is asked why XenServer and XenApp are the best integrated solution. Virtualizing XenApp must go well beyond simple server virtualization as the benefits are limited. To help explain where, why and how XenServer and XenApp integration makes sense, the following set of materials helps develop a business justification from the high-level reference architecture through implementation and design considerations for such a solution.
This document describes, in some detail, how Citrix XenServer networks work and how they interact with your regular
networks. The first section is a reminder of the standard terminology in the workings of an Ethernet network, and the
second section builds on that to explain XenServer networking.
There are several Linux and UNIX operating systems that seem to be gaining popularity and although some of these OSs are not officially supported on XenServer, there are various modes in which these OSs can be installed and made to operate on XenServer.
These pages provide guidance and walkthroughs for the installation and operation of these unsupported OSs, and are a central resource for community contributions of this nature.
This article explains the best practices when configuring Citrix Provisioning Server on a network. Follow these best practices when troubleshooting issues such as slow performance, image build failures, lost connections to the streaming server, or excessive retries from the target device..
