Hi Carl, wanted to ask if netscaler virtual appliance can run on azure stack
Carl,
Always appreciate your documentation, and various updates.
We’ve been using the Citrix Optimizer for the past 2 years or so. Whenever we’re trying to deploy from a new master. One think we noticed in the latest version using the 1903 template is the master vm started acting strangee. Can really pin it down but it was actually slower, and would like freeze occasionally. For our current Catalog we actually rolled back to a pre-optimized vm for our field test system. I was just wondering if you’ve heard anything about the Optimizer regarding settings that are more prone to destabilizing the vm? We’re trying to be conservative regarding what bloatware we remove. Our catalogs are hosted on Xenserver. Our system is managed in Citrix Cloud. Thanks
Hi Kevin,
I’m member of the Citrix Optimizer team, very sorry to hear that you’ve been seeing issues with 1903 template.
Unfortunately, I haven’t heard about this problem before, would you mind reaching out to me at martin(dot)zugec(at)citrix.com? I would like to follow up with you and try to find out what’s exactly causing the problem.
Thanks!
Martin
Good updates
