Managing for highly available implementations 编辑

Establishing a highly available network involves identifying critical components, creating redundancy for these components, and ensuring automatic failover to the secondary component if the active component fails. Critical components include:

• Database
• Provisioning servers
• vDisks and storage

Citrix Provisioning provides several options to consider when configuring for a highly available implementation, including:

• Database
  • Offline database support, which allows Citrix Provisioning servers to use a snapshot of the database if the connection to the database is lost.
  • Database mirroring.
• Citrix Provisioning servers
  • Provisioning server failover. If a server becomes unavailable, another server within the site can provide active target devices with the virtual disk.
  • Managing servers. You can load balance between provisioning servers to prevent overload and to allow server capacity to be used more effectively and efficiently.
• vDisks and Storage
  • Configuring highly available shared storage
