Citrix ADM on Linux KVM server 编辑

Virtualization platforms on which the Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) can be provisioned include Linux-KVM.

Before you install Citrix ADM on Linux-KVM, make sure that your system has the hardware virtualization extensions, and verify that the CPU virtualization extensions are available. Verify that virsh (a command-line tool for managing virtual machines) is available on the hypervisor.

Use your administrator credentials to log on to Citrix.com website, access the latest Citrix ADM setup files, and download them onto your computer. Then, install the Citrix ADM on your Linux-KVM platform and configure it for your network.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Citrix ADM virtual appliance, verify that Linux-KVM version 3.6.11-4 and later is installed on hardware that meets the minimum requirements.

Hardware requirements

Component	Requirement
CPU	A 64-bit x86 processor with the hardware virtualization features that are included in the Intel VT-X processor. Provide at least 2 CPU cores to host Linux-KVM. Note To test whether your CPU supports Linux host, enter the following command at the host Linux shell prompt: `. egrep'^flags.\ ( vmx \| svm ) '/proc/cpuinfo*` If the BIOS settings for the extension are disabled, you must enable them in BIOS. There is no specific recommendation for processor speed, but higher the speed, the better is the performance of the Citrix ADM.
Memory (RAM)	Minimum 4 GB for the host Linux kernel. Add additional memory as required by the VMs.
Hard Disk	Calculate the space for Host Linux kernel and VM requirements. A single Citrix ADM VM requires 120 GB of disk space.

Note
The memory and hard disk requirements specified are for deploying Citrix ADM on the OpenStack platform, considering that there are no other virtual machines running on the host. The hardware requirements for OpenStack depend on the number of virtual machines running on it.

Software requirements

Citrix recommends newer kernels, such as the 64-bit version of the 3.6.11-4 kernel or later.

Network requirements

Citrix ADM supports only one virtIO para-virtualized network interface. Ensure to connect this interface to the management network of the Linux-KVM host, so that the Citrix ADM and Linux-KVM can communicate.

Download Citrix ADM setup files

To download the Citrix ADM setup files from www.citrix.com:

Open a web browser and type www.citrix.com in the address bar.
Hover over the Sign In option and click My Account, enter your Citrix credentials, and then again click Sign In.
Navigate to Downloads section.
From the Downloads list, select Citrix Application Delivery Management.
On the Citrix Application Delivery Management page, select the release. For example, select Release 13.0.
Click Product Software to expand it, and click the latest build. For example, select NetScaler MAS Release (Feature Phase) 13.0 Build 36.27.
The selected build page is displayed.
On the Jump to Download list, select NetScaler MAS image for KVM, 13.0 Build xx.xx
Click Download File, accept the EULA, and download the compressed image file to any folder on your local machine.

Install the Citrix Application Delivery Management on Linux-KVM

Using SSH, log on to the KVM host.
At the CLI prompt, by using any of the file transfer programs, copy the image to a folder on the server.
Navigate to the directory where you have saved the downloaded image.
Perform these at the command line:
1. List the files in the directory verify the presence of the image file.
2. Use the tar command to untar the Citrix Application Delivery Management image file. The unzipped package contains the following components:
  1. A domain XML file that specifies the Citrix ADM attributes
  2. A text file that specifies the check sum of the domain disk image
  3. A domain disk image
```
tar -xvfz MAS-KVM.tgz
MAS-KVM.xml
MAS-KVM.qcow2
