5.3.4 Storage Configuration for the Citrix XenServer Hosting the Virtual Desktop Virtual
Machine
The environment used two NetApp filers (Figure 35):
●
On filer1 provided 4 FlexVols, each presented as an NFS mount.
●
On filer2 contained 2 FlexVols, both presented as NFS mounts, for a total of 6 NFS mounts across the
filers.
●
In each of the two XenServer Resource Pools contained a total of six Storage Repositories, one on each
NFS mount, thereby maximizing the use of the resources behind the filer mounts across all of our host
resources. This resulted in two directories being created on each NFS mount, one for each Resource Pool.
With this configuration, both Resource Pools can use the same NFS mounts without conflict or visibility
between each other.
