Clustering

A NetScaler cluster is a group of nCore appliances working together as a single system image. Each appliance of the cluster is called a node. The cluster can include as few as 2 or as many as 32 NetScaler nCore hardware or virtual appliances as nodes. The client traffic is distributed between the nodes to provide high availability, high throughput, and scalability. To create a cluster, you must add the appliances as cluster nodes, set up communication between the nodes, set up links to the client and server networks, configure the appliances, and configure the distribution of client and server traffic.

Load Balancing

What is Load Balancing? The load balancing feature distributes user requests for Web site pages and other protected applications across multiple servers that all host (or mirror) the same content. You use load balancing primarily to manage user requests to heavily used applications, preventing poor performance and outages and ensuring that users can access your protected applications. Load balancing also provides fault tolerance; when one server that hosts a protected application becomes unavailable, the feature distributes user requests to the other servers that host the same application.

Configuring dom0 Memory in XenServer 6.1.0

This article describes how to configure Control Domain (dom0) memory in XenServer 6.1.0 or later. Administrative access to a XenServer host console either directly, via SSH, or by using the Console tab in XenCenter. Steps: On the XenServer host, open a local shell and login as root. Enter the following command: /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline –set-xen dom0_mem=M,max:M NOTE: represents the the amount of memory, in megabytes, to be allocated to dom0. This value should be between 1024 and 4096, depending on the number of VMs that are expected to run and the total amount of memory of the host.

IntelliCache -- What is it and how to enable it

IntelliCache is a XenServer feature that can be used in a XenDesktop deployment to cache temporary and non‐persistent operating‐system data on the local XenServer host. IntelliCache is available for Machine Creation Services (MCS)‐based desktop workloads that use NFS storage. In a typical XenDesktop configuration (without IntelliCache), desktop VMs read the operating‐system data from a master image on a costly shared storage array. When IntelliCache is enabled, a portion of the virtual‐machine runtime reads and writes occur on low‐cost local storage: XenServer caches the operating‐system files on its local hard drive in a Read Cache.
