  • Page 2: Abstract

    Abstract The goal of this integration note is to describe Citrix XenDesktop technology, architecture, and implementation on ProLiant servers. The audience is both internal and external customers. What is Citrix XenDesktop? In a traditional PC workstation environment, users have a virtually unlimited ability to install or remove software.
  • Page 3 Figure 1. XenDesktop overview Although desktops are virtual and actually running on remote servers, the user experience is equivalent to that of a local Windows desktop. From a user’s perspective, logging on to a virtual desktop is the same as logging on to a local one. Using of Microsoft Active Directory allows users to enter their credentials once and be connected to their desktops.

  • Page 4: Why Use The Hp Integrated Xenserver

    Figure 2. XenDesktop architecture Why use the HP integrated XenServer? A side effect of virtual machine software such as Citrix XenServer is that it hides unique ProLiant features and impedes full platform management. Affected HP technologies include iLO Advanced Pack, OEM versions of Microsoft Windows Server products, Remote Graphics Software (RGS) for virtual desktop applications (VDI), and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) software.
  • Page 5 Figure 3. ProLiant Virtual Console HP PVC greatly simplifies single-server virtual machine management, either remotely using HP iLO, or using one of PVC’s unique features – Virtual KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse). Using the server’s local KVM, HP PVC provides the same graphical interface to set up and manage virtual machines that is used to set up and manage individual physical servers.

  • Page 6: Faster Provisioning

    Figure 4. Integration of HP ProLiant servers in the VDI environment Additional information about the HP ProLiant Virtual Console is available from the technology brief “Integrated hypervisor virtualization technologies in HP BladeSystem ProLiant server blades and ProLiant servers”: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01518167/c01518167.pdf. Faster provisioning In addition, the HP and Citrix XenDesktop solution provides faster provisioning of virtual desktops using Citrix Provisioning Server, and it also provides the ability to dynamically allocate virtual machines between different types of systems.
  • Page 7 The Standard Edition includes the HP Select version of XenServer; the Advanced and Enterprise Editions include the Enterprise version of XenServer, which allows resource pooling and live migration. HP suggests that users install XenDesktop using HP PVC and either a directly connected keyboard, mouse and monitor, or use HP Integrated Lights-out 2 (iLO2).

  • Page 8: The Hp Xendesktop Solution

    Citrix XenServer HP Enterprise Edition requires remote storage such as internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), Network File System (NFS), or Storage Area Network (SAN) shared storage, live migration, and automatic virtual machine placement. Integration with HP SIM and VMM Citrix XenServer HP Select and Enterprise Editions integrate with HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) agents and ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management (VMM) for active hardware management.
  • Page 9 Please note that the number of users the XenServer solution can support is directly related to the amount of available memory. Detailed setup information is available in the HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with Citrix XenDesktop Getting Started Guide: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18 964&prodSeriesId=3801993. Deploying HP XenDesktop requires downloading the XenDesktop software from the Web.

  • Page 10: Hp Thin Clients

    • License server - A component that validates licenses for Desktop Delivery Controller and Provisioning Server. It is installed simultaneously with Desktop Delivery Controller. • Citrix Desktop Receiver - Software running on an endpoint that enables the device to connect to a virtual Windows XP or Vista desktop running on a server.

  • Page 11: Why Use Hp Thin Clients

    Why use HP thin clients? HP recommends thin clients be deployed to serve as access devices. While it is possible to redeploy desktops as general access devices, maximum savings and efficiency comes from stateless, low power devices. Management savings HP t5000 series thin clients are stateless devices that remove many risks from user environments. Recovery and patching the thin client environment can take significantly less time compared to the traditional desktop environment.
  • Page 12 To reutilize existing systems, the following steps should be taken: • Convert the device to a read-only state through domain policy, local system policy or both. • Remove any existing programs that can be provided by HP virtual desktops. • Remove local logins from these systems and require any network activity be directed toward approved resources (connection brokers, media servers, domain resources).
