Prepare to install the Nutanix MCS plugin for the Citrix Cloud connector

Nutanix Acropolis integration prerequisites for the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Delivery Controller include:

• Users running the AHV MCS plugin for the Citrix Cloud Connector installer must have administrator privileges on the Citrix Cloud Connector VM.
• Register the Citrix Cloud Connector VM with a resource location in the Citrix Cloud tenant.
• Install the AHV MCS plugin for the Citrix Cloud Connector on all Cloud Connectors registered with the Citrix Cloud tenant. Perform this installation even if the connectors serve a resource location without the AHV.

Install and register the Nutanix plugin

After you install the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops components, complete the following procedure to install and register the Nutanix plugin on the Delivery Controllers. You will then be able to use Studio to create a connection to the Nutanix hypervisor and then create a machine catalog that uses a snapshot of a master image you created in the Nutanix environment.

1. Obtain the Nutanix plugin from Nutanix, and install it on the Delivery Controllers.
2. Verify that a Nutanix Acropolis folder has been created in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Citrix\HCLPlugins\CitrixMachineCreation\v1.0.0.0.
