I have been doing a POC using Citrix Cloud and Azure with XenDesktop. I have created a Citrix Machine Catalog of Windows 10 Desktops that are dedicated/persistent desktops using MCS. The catalog and its desktops were originally provisioned using the Azure template called Standard D4s V3. This means each VM has 4 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM. Since the initial deployment, requirements for these VMs have changed and they need to be running at 8 vCPUs and 32GB of RAM and the Azure Template is called Standard D8s V3. I originally went into Azure to the 5 VMs in this machine catalog and manually changed each of them to the "SIZE" I needed them at. All was well of course until after a shut down or a reboot, the VMs go back to the original size defined when the machine catalog was created of 4 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM. I need to know how to change the machine catalog to have a Machine Size of Standard D8s V3 rather than Standard D4s V3. I also found the following article related to doing something similar on prem when using VMware or XenServer...https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX201226
As you can see in the attached screen shots, the MEMORY field and CPU field of my Machine Catalog are set to 0, but the ServiceOffering field looks to be the one that needs to be changed but I am not sure if that is all that needs to change nor do I know how to change that properly. Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish what I need to do? As I mentioned before these are dedicated/persistent desktops created using MCS and the users are developers and have already installed the software/tools they need so I really do not want to create new machines and new catalog as they will need to go install all of their software again. Plus, I would think that this would be something that many customers may need to do in their own environments as well.
