Hi
The existing Web Interface servers use a centralised configuration. The new
servers use a local config file. Can I drop 1 of the WI Servers from the NLB
Cluster and add one of the new servers even though the config settings are
different (ie centralised vs local). Or am I best to build the new NLB Cluster
with local config on both servers and then change the old NLB DNS entry to
point to the new NLB Cluster IP?
Bit confused.. Id like the safest option
Thanks

I believe you’d be fine to do that Angela – configure the new
server with WI with the same settings as before – then introduce into the load
balance
set once you’ve proven the site works as expected with testing

Hi
Im looking at replacing our Web Interface Servers and need assistance. We
are running 2 x Windows 2003 R2 Servers using Windows Network Load Balancing
(NLB). The WI Servers are configured for both PNAgent and Web
Access. We are running Web Interface 4.2 using centralised
configuration. The Citrix Servers are running 4.0. I will be
looking at upgrading these to 4.5 at a later date.
Im looking at replacing the servers with newer hardware but still using Windows
2003 R2 SP2 with NLB. I will be looking at upgrading the Web Interface
software to either 4.6 or 5.12. Ive done some tests with both versions
and find 4.6 to be faster. Ive done all the WI tweaks on 5.12 but still
find 4.6 faster.
My questions are
1) We have 1000 users that use PNAgent. I want to replace the WI servers
without having to change any client settings. We use PNAgent client V9
and V10. Again I will be looking at installing PNAgent V11 at a later
date. WI 4.2 PNAgent config file points to:
http://CitrixNLB/Citrix/PNAgent/config.xml
Can I install the latest version Web interface software to the same path so no
client changes are required?
Are there any gotchas when performing a Web Interface migration to new servers?
Thanks
Ang
