Automated install of Cloud Connector via HX Connect with Hyper-V

Citrix operated cloud running Citrix Infra Services

HyperFlex Hyper-V Cluster


1. Export base VM

2. Import connector VM

3. Configure networking

4. Domain join connector VM(s)

5. Register failover cluster

6. Download Citrix Cloud Connector

7. Install Citrix Cloud Connector

What’s automated


• Install and configure Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series nodes in a cluster with Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016 running 3.5(2a) or later.

• Create a datastore on the HX Data Platform and then deploy the base VM on that datastore.

• Create & deploy a VM as the base VM used for the connector VM. Once deployed, use the Microsoft System Preparation (Sysprep) tool to prepare the base VM. Ensure that the base VM is in a power-off state.

• Install the SCVMM console on each server that is a Cloud Connector.

• Confirm that you have a:

– Citrix Cloud account. For detailed instructions, see Sign up for Citrix Cloud.

– Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service subscription or trial on Citrix Cloud.

• Set up a resource location containing the resources that are required to deliver applications and desktops to subscribers. For detailed instructions, see Set up resource locations in the Citrix product documentation.

Top use cases for Cisco HyperFlex and Citrix

UCS refreshSecurity

Edge compute and ROBO

NewVDI

Customers

Provide a compelling migration path for

customers with aging UCS servers in need of

data center re-fresh

Small, powerful, centrally-managed appliances at the

edge ensures remote/branch offices

have the same capabilities as HQ

Securing digital workspaces aligns with

customer security imperatives (and

budgets)

Customers that have in the past found VDI

to be too complex and resource

intensive to take advantage of can re-

think the possibilities

Windows 10 migrations

Tens of millions of physical desktops are

still on legacy Windows OS
