Linux VDA Trial

Compared to traditional Windows desktop systems, Linux Vdas are still relatively small, but in some design, development, users still need, so currently as a virtual desktop manufacturers Citrix from last year began to develop a Linux VDA, in the last month, the Linux VDA technical Preview has been released.

Citrix's Linux VDA currently supports only the Redhat 6.6 and SuSE 11sp3 two versions, and subsequent exceptions will be to the Linux OS, which includes Centos/ubuntu, the two most popular client classes on the market.

Use feeling
1. Is smooth, very smooth. Because resources limit the entire virtual machine configuration to less than Windows, it runs smoothly due to the features of Linux.

2. Linux because of its own characteristics, so the default support multi-session, so a redhat can support multi-user access.

3. The common operation of Linux system itself is no problem, such as office operation, Flash play and so on. However, it is not possible to do the interactive work of files and peripherals under the Windows platform, such as Folder redirection, USB redirection, etc. Look forward to the next version of it.

XenDesktop 7.1

XenDesktop 7.5

XenDesktop 7.6

For receiver requirements There is no special version, the basic current market mainstream can be.

Windows Receiver version v4.2 or newer (this equates to v14.0 of Wfica32.exe)

Linux Receiver version v13.0 or newer

Mac OSX Receiver v11.8.2

Android Receiver available from the Google Play store

IOS Receiver 5.9.4 or newer

HTML5 Receiver 16.0 (only via Access Gateway)

For the server virtualization platform, it also supports the following Citrix features:

Citrix XenServer

Microsoft Hyper-V

VMware VSphere

The approximate deployment process:

1. Run the Update-brokerserviceconfig.ps1 script on the DDC and let the DDC provide support for the Linux VDA.

2. Install a Linux VM as per the version requirements in the white Paper (Redhat is recommended, attach the Redhat installation manual)

3. Check the IP of Linux and the corresponding network (FQDN/NTP check)

4. Installing the package packages for a Linux VDA

5. Installing PostgreSQL on a Linux VM

6. Follow the server virtualization platform to make the corresponding virtual machine parameter setting

7. Adding a Linux VM to AD domain (Linux VM join AD is a complex process that covers many settings such as samba, authentication, etc.)

8. Add a Linux VM to the DDC on the computer catalog, delivery Group.

Finally, the deployment of the Linux VDA is implemented. Please Enjoy it!

Because the Linux VDA is still in the technical preview phase, do not use it in a production environment. All contents should be downloaded by the following address: (access requires Mycitrix account)
