15 Congure a connection to the Manager Website component.
Option Description
If you are using a load balancer
Enter the fully qualied domain name and port number of the load
balancer for the Manager Website component. For example,
website-load-balancer.eng.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not
recognized.
With no load balancer
Enter the fully qualied domain name and port number of the machine
where you installed the Manager Website component. For example,
website_component.mycompany.com:443. IP addresses are not
recognized.
The default port is 443.
16 Click Test to verify connectivity to each host.
17 Select the VDI version.
18 Enter the fully qualied domain name of the managed server in the VDI Server text box.
19 Click Add.
20 Click Next.
21 Click Install to begin the installation.
After several minutes a success message appears.
22 Click Next.
23 Click Finish.
24 Verify that the installation is successful.
25 (Optional) Add multiple agents with dierent congurations and an endpoint on the same system.
What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
Installing the EPI Agent for Citrix
External provisioning Integration (EPI) PowerShell agents integrate Citrix external machines into the
provisioning process. The EPI agent provides on-demand streaming of the Citrix disk images from which
the machines boot and run.
The dedicated EPI agent interacts with a single external provisioning server. You must install one EPI agent
for each Citrix provisioning server instance.
Citrix Provisioning Server Requirements
A system administrator uses External Provisioning Infrastructure (EPI) agents to integrate Citrix
provisioning servers and to enable the use of Visual Basic scripts in the provisioning process.
Installation Location and Credentials
Install the agent on the PVS host for Citrix Provisioning Services instances. Verify that the installation host
meets “Citrix Agent Host Requirements,” on page 110 before you install the agent.
