Why two zones? Also, if you are connected by 100Mb why not just use all the
servers all the time?

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Disaster Recovery
Hi
I am implementing a Citrix DR solution and I wanted to share my design with
the group to see if there are better ways of doing it
2 sites in the same state connected with a 100Mb link
Site 1 (Main Site)
Citrix Zone 1
2 x Citrix Web Interface (Physical Server)
1 x SQL Server (shared) for DataStore
20 x Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (Physical Server)
1 x Primary Zone Data Collector (Dedicated Physical Server)
1 x backup ZDC (on existing Presentation Server)
Site 2 (DR Site)
Citrix Zone 2
1 x Citrix Web Interface (Virtual Server)
1 x SQL Server (shared) for DataStore
8 x Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (Physical Server)
1 x Primary Zone Data Collector (on existing Presentation Server)
1 x backup ZDC (on existing Presentation Server)
All servers are in a single Citrix farm but across 2 zones. The Zone Data
collectors do not share information as the servers in Site 2 are not used.
They will only be used in a DR scenario. The SQL database is replicated to
the DR site nightly.
I have a few queries I was hoping the group could help with
1) Site 1 uses Web Interface 4.2. Will there be any issues if I use Web
interface 4.6 at Site 2? Will WI 4.6 change anything on the farm that may
affect WI 4.2?
2) In a DR scenario, I was expecting to simply change the DNS entry which
users use to connect to the Production Web Interface (Site 1) to that of the
DR Web Interface server (Site 2) via a simple IP change. I have duplicated
all Production Published Apps and have associated them to the Citrix Servers
in Site 2.
Would this work? Is there a better way to do this? Any help or links to
best practice guides appreciated
Thanks
Angela
