Subject: [THIN] Re: VMware & CPS 4.5
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.

We tried it in an ESX 2.5 environment and the performace was horrible.
Supposedly its been greatly improved in an ESX 3 environment but we haven't
gotten back to try it yet.

Subject: [THIN] VMware & CPS 4.5
Hi,
I've a customer who wants to run CPS 4.5 in a VMware ESX environment. This will
be for production.
Has anyone set this up in a live environment before? I've only ever set it up
for a dev environment. Any tips or recommendations? Should I discourage them
for doing this and use straight tin instead?
Thanks for any help,
Chris.
