Configuring persistence for a group of vserversIf you want to apply persistence across multiple vservers, you can add the vservers to a persistence group and then specify a persistence method. You bind virtual servers using different protocols in one group and configure persistence across the different protocols. When persistence is set on the group of virtual servers, client requests are directed to the same ...

Redundancy and Scalability for TFTP using NetScaler Direct Server Return

While Citrix Provisioning Server is not really my area of expertise, my fellow consultants working in that field have the challenge to create architecture designs for this component. In a PVS deployment, provisioned workloads - physical or virtual - query DHCP and get then directed to a TFTP server that offers some sort of boot image which is a file of usually a couple of ...

Load Balancing – Backup Persistence

LBBackupPersistence_101108.jpg

Configuring a backup persistence methodThe NetScaler Load Balancer uses the backup persistence option when the primary persistence fails. For example, the primary persistence type is set to Cookie Insert, and backup persistence is set to Source IP. When the client browsers do not support cookies, Source IP persistence is used. To set the backup persistence option to Source IP, you must set the primary ...

Load Balancing – Src IP Dest IP Persistence

thumb-PersistenceSrcIPDestIP_1010.jpg

Configuring Persistence Based on Source and Destination IP AddressesThe Citrix NetScaler initially selects a server by using a load balancing method. With persistence configured, enabling the NetScaler to send any subsequent client requests to the selected server, the server can access state information for that client. If persistence is configured, it overrides the load balancing methods once the server has been selected. If the ...
