LMAO, I might be mad!  

What are the reasons for not running WI/IIS on the same box as citrix?
Load? Security? - if Security, is it plausible to run on the same box if all
access to the WI is done only from internal?  If load, does it really matter
since I have more than 1 server load sharing in my farm?

I'm just trying to get some answers because if I go to my boss and request a
new server he's going to want the reasoning for having to dig in his pockets
some more after having already given his arm and leg for Citrix - the
stuff's not cheap!.

I've read some dual-homing nightmares myself.  Unfortunately my hands are
tied in this respect because our network guys thought it more sensible to
not have traffic competing on the same NICs.  Some of our apps talk to back
end oracle DB's so our Citrix servers listen on one NIC and the other NIC
shares a common network with the DB servers

Dual homing citrix servers is one thing that comes up from time to time..
its generally very ill advised as you've found! :)

I dont think theres any real support for it in either TS or Citrix from what
I remember, the answer will be split WI and Citrix to two boxes :(
(IIS and Citrix on the same box, are you mad?? :) )

OK - I think I may have found the answer.

 

My Citrix server/WI server is dual homed.  I have my ica-tcp connections
configured to listen for connection on only one of those cards.  I've
noticed that, at time, when I create ica's and I go in to take a look at
them with notepad, that the wrong IP address has been put in - the one from
the other card in the server.  Sometimes creating an ica gets the correct
IP, other times not.  Not sure if this is a bug in 3.0 or what?!?  It's
really annoying also, when creating an ica that it uses an IP instead of the
machine name - wondering if there's anyway to change that?

 

So, I think my WI is actually trying to call the connections through the
wrong IP.  I'll have to set my ica-tcp configuration to listen on both cards
but that's really counter-productive to what we are trying to accomplish.
It's worth a try though.

Many things could be going wrong here.  I'm going to shoot some
troubleshooting ideas at you as there really isn't enough information to
tell what the problem really is.

 

1.  Are the DEV and Production servers on the same subnet?  Can you ping the
IP address you believe you should be connecting to from the workstation you
are connecting from?

 

2.  Open a command prompt before clicking on the application icon and
prepare a 'netstat -n' command.  Click on the icon and quickly switch back
to the command prompt and execute the 'netstat -n' command.  See what IP
address you are attempting to connect to.  Make sure it is what you expect
to be connecting to.

 

3.  Do a trace route to the IP address?

 

4.  Probably not an issue, but make sure that CSG and/or translation of the
Citrix address isn't a problem.

 

If these don't help, shoot more info out and maybe we can help.

Subject: [THIN] No route to Specified Subnet Address

Using MPS 3.0 and trying to access an app through the WI.  When click the
icon, I get "No route to the specified subnet address"

 

I can successfully launch the app from my dev Citrix server, but not
production.  Accessing the WI is all local, not from outside of my company.
I've read many articles on google but they all seem to talk about the
problem when accessing the server from the outside.

 

The dev and prod WI settings are configured identically.

 

Anyone offer me any help here?
