Hi Paul
We have a couple of clients running PS 4.0 on VMware without any
problems. I would imagine XenServer would be at least as good.
Bear in mind that you'll never get as many sessions on a virtual machine
though? Why does your customer want to virtualise?
Cheers

Subject: [THIN] Virtualising W2K3 PS 4.0 Servers
Greetings,
I've got a customer with a pretty simple, 9-server Windows 2003 Citrix
PS 4.0 Advanced Edition farm (with latest patches). They now wish to add
a couple of new servers into the farm and have asked if it would be
possible to virtualise them on XenServer. They do not have Subscription
Advantage, so upgrading to the latest supported XenApp version is not
currently an option.
I know from their DR testing that PS 4.0 will *run* in a virtual
environment, but what I need to find out is does it *work* in a virtual
environment? Are there any gotchas, workarounds, patches, etc. that I
need to be aware of?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
