0 Tobias Kreidl Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Yes, it's an add-on "module" that runs as a virtul appliance once installed on your XenServer/Citrix Hypervisor server/pool. For a good description, see:https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-hypervisor/wlb/get-started.html -=Tobias 1 Link to comment
0 Tobias Kreidl Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Yes, you can either choose high density or maximum distribution, and this can be set to be manual or automatic. For details, see: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-hypervisor/wlb.html Note that this feature requires a Premium license subscription. -=Tobias Link to comment
0 Mike Maggio1709162854 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 So is this the workload balancing appliance? A separate installation? Link to comment
0 Mark Syms Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 @Mike Maggio yes, the workload balancer appliance installs as a VM onto your hypervisor pool and provides the capabilities that you're looking for. Link to comment
0 Alan Lantz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yep, WLB is what you are looking for. That is going to be the loose equivalent of DRS in VMware. As long as you don't have any vGPU enabled VM's you should be fine. --Alan-- Link to comment
