Our current production CTX environment = MPS 4.0, Win2k3 sp2 hosts on VMware
ESX 3.5.
Our standard VM build has 2 procs, 3gb ram and we average about 45+ user
connections per host. Our environment is published app based, which lets us
spread the load around a bit better, no full desktop. Physical boxes running
VMware are HP blades, 16gb ram, 4 proc. Dependant on app load and usage, (we
silo off the heavy use stuff) your mileage may vary.
That link Greg sent has some good recommendations; from my own experience:
- the vmware tools install by default adds a component into user profiles "
hgfs.dat" which can be a pain to deal with. (greg's article covered this).
Sort out how to handle this before allowing users to login.
- Use manual DRS automation if you have a Citrix specific cluster setup in
your ESX environment. Automated DRS vmotion during production hours with
dozens of users connected can hang up a VM.
We have virtual MPS 4.5 boxes in testing, but I can't say we've put any
serious user load on them yet.
