Concept of Architecture

Free with Windows Server1. No Server License : Cost down

2. Active Directory Workgroup

3. Windows Server DHCP DHCP with vdiManager appliance

User data1. Without any storage

2. Data : save user data to a USB flash drive

Image Backup1. Master Image and ViaB appliance convert to templates

2. Export templates to Administrator’s HDD

Importing Virtual Machine

Requirement : Xenserver, vdiManager VM, Windows 7 VM

5

Change the MAC address of Windows 7 VM

* MAC Address Pool• MAC address range must be in the form of "00:50:56:[0-3]x:xx:xx".• The end of the range will be determined by "MAC Address range length”

Default URLs and Passwords for Citrix VDI in a Box

Entries in Citrix Access GatewayACL: IP Addresses for VDI range for both ICA and Session reliabilitySTA: vdiManagerIPAddress + path=/dt/staHome Page: Java Client = http://vdiManagerIPAddress/dt/vdiclient.jnlp vdiManagerIPAddress + path=/dt/staHome Page: PNAgent = http://vdiManagerIPAddress/dt/PNAgent/config.xml

8

Setting IP address

Log into the vdiManager console ( root user / password ) : root / kaviza123Change Directory : $ cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scriptsNetwork configuration file : ifcfg-eth0

Copy network configuration file$ cp ifcfg-eth0 OLD_ifcfg-eth0

9

Setting IP address

Edit ifcfg-eth0 : # vi ifcfg-eth0

1. Change DHCP parameterBOOTPROTO=dhcpto:BOOTPROTO=none

2. Add ParametersIPADDR=<static ip of XenServer Host>NETMASK=<netmask value>GATEWAY=<gateway ip>

10

Setting IP address

Network restart : $ service network restart

11

Setting IP address

DNS Server Configuration with vi editerFile: /etc/resolv.conf

Add DNS Server IP address

Ping test : Check IP resolution

12

Setting IP address

Checking IP address after vdiManager reboot

13

DHCP Server Configuration

Log into the vdiManager console root user / pass: root / kaviza123Installation DHCP Server : # yum –y install dhcp

14


cd /etc/rm dhcpd.confcp /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample ./dhcpd.confvi ./dhcpd.conf

15


Change dhcpd.confPrefix MAC Address Pool

16


Setting DHCP Server startup in Booting

Checking DHCP Server after rebooting appliance

Check ing IP lease after reboot Windows 7 VM : # cat /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases
