XenClient Enterprise: The default Windows drive letters -

With the maintenance release of XenClient Enterprise 5.0.4 I thought it apropos to take this opportunity, sit down and have a conversation with you, our customers, the community and fellow Citrites!

This post not intended to highlight the new features, improvements and corrections, but to have a discussion on a topic that I supported and saw bubbling in our discussion forums. (If you're not a member in it, I urge you to join: sign up, no spam, learn something new and to raise issues in a diverse community)

the agenda I refer to is the num- because of this post, but here it is in question format "Alex":

"How can I change? Windows drive letters of default in XCE "

the direct answer to answer is very carefully . The purpose of this question - any director need to change the default drive letters used by XenClient Enterprise - is understandable. Organizations any size usually have a "Dedicated Windows CIFS / File Sharing". You know the one: "He is on Q" or "Backups are on the F Drive", etc.

Although I have an article KB / CTX available explaining how to change the letters of the user and local drive, I added an update to reflect all elements XenClient Citrix administrator or support representative must look after XCE 4.x:

  • What kind VM disk image of the administrator uses for VM deployment (PVD, shared or custom)
  • Which drive letters are used in the Windows environment to the administrator for the purpose of infrastructure
  • is it necessary to change both the user's default drive (U) and the local drive (s) or is it appropriate to change the place of the other?

First, the players A, B C, a D must never be used to replace the user's drive letter or local drive letter. Simply put: this is sacred ground Windows

Second, if the administrator is using a PVD image for their VM deployment, user or local drive player should never be set to P

[1945006!] Allow me to repeat this :!

If the administrator is using a PVD image for their VM deployment, the User drive or local drive must never be put at P

reason is that for PvD VMs, the P drive is used in VM deployment to prepare the VM within a motor. Using P to the User drive or local will result in failure to publish.

So my great clients, peers and Citrix fans, do not use drive letters A, B, C, D or P when preparing a virtual machine to be deployed to your engines

that said, check out the links to XenClient 5.0.4 as well as the link to our discussion forum about this release :. thank you to Pete and David for their endless knowledge, time and contributions!
