[00:01] Yeah, say good evening everyone.
[00:03] Uh, today we'll discuss what are the important like Citrix interview questions and how we need to answer those interview questions.
[00:11] Say we are going to attend the CX, most of the CX interviews, so what are the common questions people are asking and how to answer them?
[00:19] 70 to 80%, uh, I have prepared most of the questions, okay.
[00:26] So now today we'll discuss those, uh, interview questions.
[00:31] Okay, say Citrix, already we know, one of the leader in delivering of Citrix virtual apps and virtual desktops.
[00:39] So over the any device, any connection, Citrix is going to deliver apps and desktops.
[00:44] We already know that one, so today we'll discuss what are the Citrix interview questions and how we need to answer those questions.
[00:51] So now, like the first question mostly would be, what are the Citrix products you have worked so in the current project or maybe in the?
[01:02] Previous project, what are the current versions of the Citrix you have worked?
[01:06] And what are the Citrix products, other products also, what we have?
[01:11] So these all we need to be able to explain, so for that what we need to answer is:
[01:15] So currently anyhow we have Citrix 7.x.
[01:18] We have, and make sure some of the latest versions of the Citrix like 2204, 2402, 1912, like most of the LTSR versions, explain for current project.
[01:33] So in the current project, don't tell the legacy kind of things.
[01:37] But most of the clients in the large scale, they have the legacy kind of tools also.
[01:43] But when we tell legacy kind of tools in the interview, they are telling, uh, like support end of life is supported or end of life is stopped like that.
[01:53] But still, a lot of companies are using legacy kind of versions also.
[01:56] Okay, some companies are using MetaFrame kind of server very.
[02:02] Early, but you don't tell like that.
[02:05] You tell any of the latest version like 2204.
[02:09] 244, we should tell prior to that.
[02:13] I work with the like a XenApp wise, we have XenApp 6 and 6.5.
[02:17] Tell that who has five years like this experience.
[02:22] You can tell I have work with XenApp 6 and 6.5 also, okay?
[02:28] So don't worry about XenApp 6 and 6.5.
[02:30] I have some videos; I'll share those videos also, okay?
[02:32] So those videos you can go through if you have, if you want XenApp 6 and 6.5.
[02:37] Then currently we have either migrated or upgraded to 7.x, okay?
[02:48] So then here one question definitely will ask is like what are the changes from 6.5 to 7.6.
[02:56] So we'll discuss what are the changes we have from 6.5 to 7.
[03:02] 7.8 what are the changes have been there?
[03:05] And how we involved in those migration and upgradation kind of activities?
[03:11] Definitely we need to say yes itself.
[03:13] I have involved in those migration kind of or maybe upgradation kind of activities.
[03:19] There is a slight difference between migration and upgradation; we'll discuss that one.
[03:24] Okay, so coming to Zen desktop, like previously we have Zen desktop 5.6 and we need to tell PBS also in 7.x.
[03:35] You don't need to tell again Zen desktop because both have been integrated.
[03:39] Both Zen app and Zen desktop has been integrated.
[03:43] Okay, so then definitely we need to tell provisioning Services also.
[03:48] For the Citrix administrator, lot of value will come if you tell provisioning Services also.
[03:53] So hence current environment you can tell MCS itself, but for the previous environment we need to tell we worked with the PVS also the PVS.
[04:05] Is the provisioning services MCS?
[04:08] Definitely there would be one question, PVS versus MCS.
[04:10] Also there would be one question regarding PVS versus MCS.
[04:16] What are the advantages and disadvantages of PVS and MCS?
[04:22] Okay, so then like here we need to tell one more profile management wise, either UPM or FSLogix.
[04:32] Don't tell AppSense; AppSense is a vast product.
[04:35] It's better to tell either UPM or Microsoft wise FSLogix.
[04:41] Okay, then you need to tell basic exposure towards Azure Cloud we have.
[04:44] And Azure AVD also we need to tell.
[04:46] Azure wise we have Azure AVD and Azure Cloud also.
[04:53] And Windows Server wise what is their expectation is already they're assuming we know the Windows Server very well.
[05:00] In this AD, DNS, say DHCP.
[05:08] Service okay, so then RDS or terminal services.
[05:11] Little bit on the IAS also we need to have the knowledge so because to troubleshoot store front kind of thing, all that we need IAS kind of background also.
[05:22] Then like we can have an optional, we can have Citrix Cloud NetScaler.
[05:31] Citrix Cloud NetScaler, we should tell we have the basic exposure.
[05:36] Citrix Cloud and NetScaler, we need to tell the basic exposure because definitely nowadays large scale companies having connectors like Citrix Cloud.
[05:44] Instead of Citrix Cloud, we can manage through Azure Cloud also and NetScaler also.
[05:49] So these all the products we have worked.
[05:54] And optionally we can tell App Layering also, so App Layering also we have worked.
[06:00] And hypervisor wise we can tell either XenCenter or.
[06:08] Gen server or V Center or V spere we need to tell V spere.
[06:15] So we need to we need to tell the vpar also.
[06:17] Okay, so these all the products we should tell what are the versions or products you have worked.
[06:26] Okay, any any doubt on this?
[06:38] Any doubts?
[06:39] No sir.
[06:39] Okay, so these these would be the first question mostly, what are the Citrix products you have worked and it depends upon the JD also.
[06:46] Try to answer those what exactly they want, they would be in the JD right.
[06:50] Focus on those areas and if they have in the JD, don't tell I don't have that knowledge, just brush up on that product.
[07:02] Okay, so these all the CX different versions like 6, 6.5 we have started our career, later we have migrated and.
[07:08] Upgraded to 7.x and Zen desktop also.
[07:11] Previously 5.6 we have and in that environment we have both MCS and PBS.
[07:17] But current environment we have MCS only.
[07:19] But if we have PBS also I can support whether they will use it or PVS or MCS.
[07:25] But in the job they want to take an engineer who is having PVS experience also.
[07:30] Okay, so for the profile management we have UPM, FSLogix, otherwise we have absence also.
[07:39] But now like most of the people are using FSLogix because it integrated with other Microsoft products also.
[07:48] Then we have Azure cloud.
[07:48] Cloud wise we need to tell Azure cloud and Azure IaaS services, Azure AVD also will discuss.
[07:56] Then Windows Server wise we need to brush up AD, DNS, DHCP, RDS, IAS and one more feature mandatory.
[08:03] We need to tell from the windows wise is we should tell as we have basic knowledge on PowerShell.
[08:07] Okay, so.
[08:10] Today a lot of companies are expecting PowerShell knowledge also from us.
[08:16] And CX also have their own CX cloud and NetScaler or ADC.
[08:20] Also we need to have app laying gen center or hypervisor wise.
[08:26] We have gen center or gen server or VMware wise.
[08:29] We have V VM sxi server or V Center or V spare bundle we have.
[08:35] Okay, so then coming to defect tracking or maybe how the IT management wise definitely we need to have Jira or Service Now.
[08:45] Okay, previously we have BMC remedy also, but 90% today most of the companies having Jira or Service Now.
[08:55] We need to tell for the problem management or for IT process wise which tool we are using is we need to tell Jira or Service Now.
[09:08] Okay, so then the next question would.
[09:11] Be or this may be also the first question.
[09:12] What are your job roles and responsibilities as a Citrix administrator?
[09:16] So what are the job roles we have in the Citrix administrator wise?
[09:22] So now here we need to manage the Citrix infrastructure management.
[09:24] So as the Citrix administrator we should be responsible for day-to-day administration of the Citrix environment.
[09:33] Then Citrix monitoring of the infrastructure, virtual desktops, application gateways, all these infrastructure management we are going to take care.
[09:40] Then user assignments, user issues troubleshooting and assigning the users application, desktop groups, creating the catalog kind of things.
[09:51] Then ensuring the users have the right applications, right desktop permissions.
[09:56] These all the user and access management we need to check.
[10:01] And we need to troubleshoot the L2 level, L3 level also we need to troubleshoot the user issues.
[10:05] Then monitoring from the director health monitoring and even we.
[10:11] Need to check the logs Event Viewer.
[10:14] Then we need to optimize from the like metrics.
[10:16] What are the metrics we will check it?
[10:18] And maybe handling the shift also to others shift in charge responsibilities.
[10:24] And what are the things we need to do while assigning that shift to others?
[10:29] So these all the things like maybe from the support wise we need to take care.
[10:33] And we need to support L1 level, L2 level, L3 level support also we need to take care, okay?
[10:38] And we need to troubleshoot the issues related to applications, application performance.
[10:45] Then connectivity issues also we need to troubleshoot.
[10:47] And most of the issues would be coming for the profile wise also.
[10:52] Then in order to optimize secure scaling of our Citrix infrastructure also everyday monitoring is required.
[10:58] And we need to consider some of the metrics, some of the advises, some of the best practices.
[11:06] All these also we need to take care and maintenance wise we need to.
[11:12] Take care the patching of the citric servers rebooting or restarting kind of patching activities also we need to perform.
[11:19] Okay, so these all like optimization wise, security wise, all these also we need to consider from the Citrix admin roles and responsibilities.
[11:29] Say every day try to do a role play kind of thing.
[11:32] Every day I'm going to the office, these are the things I have worked, these are the roles I have done.
[11:38] Like this, prepare your roles and responsibilities.
[11:42] Okay, yeah, any any doubts on this?
[11:52] Any any doubts?
[11:52] No, no, no sir.
[11:57] Okay, these all the things we need to take care from the citric administrator roles and responsibilities and from your resume also we need to able to tell.
[12:05] Next, mostly the next question would be, uh, tell me about your infrastructure.
[12:10] Okay, so tell me about.
[12:14] Uh, your infrastructure.
[12:18] So in the infrastructure, they would be asking you how many number of target users you are supporting concurrent.
[12:26] How many users?
[12:26] So maybe my target user are 10,000 also, but concurrent at any point of time maybe 4,000 users are connecting.
[12:32] Another 4,000 or 2,000 users maybe in the shifts they're connecting, okay?
[12:37] So that target users and version wise, what are the versions you have?
[12:43] What is the hosting infrastructure and how many locations we have, okay?
[12:48] Say team size related also, we would be some questions.
[12:51] For all these, we need to prepare before itself, and definitely there would be the questions: how many controllers we have, okay?
[13:01] How many storages you have and what is the database configuration you have?
[13:06] And which type of server hardware, where your server hardware is hosted?
[13:11] Is it on the VMware or is it on the Gen server or?
[13:16] Maybe any of the cloud you are using so this kind of VAR is your server hardware.
[13:21] And how remotely you are connecting to those servers through uh like maybe IL kind of thing or like maybe D for the Del servers.
[13:29] So these kind of questions also we can expect.
[13:34] Okay, so for all these also before itself we need to prepare ourself in order to answer them.
[13:41] Okay, so then how many license servers we have?
[13:46] Then like we will have like how many VD on servers or multi-session O then VD on single session W.
[14:01] And how many how many application users are there?
[14:05] Which type of catalogs like pool random, pool static, dedicated?
[14:11] So how many dedicated you have, how many pool random you have, how many pool static you have?
[14:14] So most of them try to.
[14:17] Tell pull random kind of desktops.
[14:21] Okay, pool random kind of uh desktops used to tell.
[14:26] Okay, so maybe controllers, you can tell around four to four to eight controllers.
[14:32] You can tell two storr servers, one or two license servers.
[14:38] Uh, like maybe hardware, maybe Dell or maybe HP servers, we need to tell in that.
[14:43] Also, what is the version of servers we have?
[14:45] All these, we need to, we need to tell.
[14:49] Okay, so these related questions also, they would be asking very casually.
[14:54] And we should also answer uh like uh uh what is assuming a role play kind of thing.
[15:00] We should able to answer these questions also.
[15:03] And you are working in a small scale uh application, uh try to tell more more users than what exactly you have.
[15:12] You got the point, so you have.
[15:18] Limited also as of now, try to try to explain like more number of servers, more number of users, because most of the companies prefers to take the candidates who worked in the complex infrastructures.
[15:38] Okay, so even in your current job you have the less infrastructure, like for this you prepare like more infrastructure.
[15:46] You should able to answer more number of controllers, more number of VD on servers, more number of concr users, like this try to explain.
[15:58] Then they will get a confidence, yes you can work in the complex workloads also.
[16:08] Okay, any any doubts on this?
[16:16] Subat, can you add anything on?
[16:19] This uh no sir, but uh for any freshers means what we have to tell also we need to tell the same.
[16:28] The incture for freshers won't be less, right?
[16:32] Your job should be for the L1 monitoring and L1 issues would be assigned to you.
[16:38] Oh, for freshers L1 issues would be, but is the same one, but you'll have the less permissions and mostly from the director monitoring wise L1 L1 client side issues, how to troubleshoot, monitoring, basic monitoring, and basic patching kind of activities.
[16:57] Test environments may need to configure, so these kind of job roles you can tell.
[17:02] Okay sir, okay, but if you project more on yourself then only we'll get the job.
[17:09] Yeah, we can add it like if you'll add the like we participated in upgrade activity, they may ask patching, patching activities or maintenance patching and.
[17:21] Uh, like Citrix Citrix version upgrade activity, so they can ask like what is the procedure to like how which component will go first?
[17:29] Then later which component they can ask the upgrade procedure.
[17:51] Okay, uh, yes sir, that we can add it here.
[18:22] Yeah, say then like after after telling about the infrastructure, all this like this, these are the very, very basic questions in every interview.
[18:30] They will ask these questions.
[18:35] Okay, so what are your roles and responsibilities and tell me about INF infrastructure and what are the CX products you have worked?
[18:44] It depends upon your position, but say suppose you are at L1 level.
[18:49] As a fresher also, try to tell some L2 job rules.
[18:52] You are attending for L2, try to tell some L3 also.
[18:55] And for L3 guys, some of the object matter experts or team lead kind of job roles also we should able to tell.
[19:02] Then only they're considering the profile.
[19:08] Okay, so then like it's mandatory question in the interviews people are asking is what is FMA versus IMA.
[19:18] What is the meaning of FMA is, FMA is a flex cach like management architecture.
[19:22] FMA is a.
[19:25] Flex cast management architecture, uh, like what is that FMA is in 7.x Citrix architecture?
[19:31] Citrix architecture has changed from IMA in XenApp 6 and 6.5.
[19:40] We have IMA; in 7.x we have FMA.
[19:45] So this is technically that that FMA versus IMA is nothing but what are the changes from 6.5 to 7.x itself.
[19:57] Okay, so what is the difference between, uh, uh, FMA versus IMA is nothing.
[20:03] But FMA versus IMA is nothing but, uh, FMA is in the 7.x, we have, okay, say in, um, IMA is with 6 and 6.5.
[20:18] So what is the meaning of FMA, Flex cast management architecture?
[20:22] Here there is a typo, flexible mission assignment is not that, flexi cast.
[20:27] management architecture
[20:29] so definitely we should able to prepare
[20:31] this answer because in the job wise we
[20:35] don't use this but interview wise this
[20:37] is one of the very important
[20:40] FAQ okay hence we should able to answer
[20:43] FMA versus IMA is nothing but zenap 6.5
[20:48] to 7.x what are the major changes in 7.x
[20:53] the architecture is called as
[20:59] FMA FMA stands for Flex Cas
[21:04] is called as FMA FMA stands for Flex Cas
[21:04] management architecture Flex C
[21:06] management architecture and IMA is
[21:09] independent management architecture
[21:11] independent management architecture we
[21:15] have say for the FMA versus IMA and
[21:18] zenap 6.5 to 7.x okay so
[21:23] definitely FMA has been replaced the IMA
[21:27] architecture okay from 7.x and later
[21:31] versions so what is the meaning of flex
[21:33] cach management architecture is it is a
[21:35] service oriented architecture and most
[21:38] of the Citrix platforms have been
[21:40] integrated into single kind of solution
[21:44] whereas application delivery Mobility
[21:47] Services flexible provisioning Cloud
[21:51] management all can be done from from the
[21:54] 7.x whatever the product we are going to
[21:57] use and it can be integrated also as a
[22:00] single point of solution depends upon
[22:03] the client flexibility we can deliver
[22:05] those architectures that is the reason
[22:08] it's called as
[22:10] FMA okay so then here FMA most of the
[22:14] most of the like previously we have Zen
[22:16] apppp is different Zen desktop is
[22:17] different Zen mobile is different so but
[22:20] we can integrate with the cloud also we
[22:22] can integrate and most of the brokering
[22:25] functionalities have been Consolidated
[22:27] previously Zen apppp is different Zen
[22:30] desktop is different but both have been
[22:32] like
[22:33] consolidated in the functionality wise
[22:37] and we can manage the multiple versions
[22:38] also like FMA supports multiple versions
[22:41] previously 6 is not possible to add 6.5
[22:44] all should be uniform kind of
[22:46] versions okay but here this we can have
[22:49] the multiple versions of that also is
[22:51] supported so now architecture wise here
[22:55] we have IMA here we have FMA and
[22:58] previously the database is called as
[23:00] data store so now here it called
[23:03] as site database so previously the
[23:07] database in the six and 6.5 is called as
[23:10] data store but here it's called as datab
[23:13] base and for the database if the
[23:15] downtime is there in zenap 6 and 6.5 we
[23:18] have Local Host cachy but in 7.x initial
[23:22] features they have given connection
[23:24] leing I think from
[23:26] 7 six six feature packs later they have
[23:30] added
[23:32] LHC that means in the initial versions
[23:34] of the 7.x we don't have LSC instead of
[23:39] LSC what we
[23:41] have instead of LSC what we have is we
[23:44] have the connection leing we have the
[23:46] connection leing there is a slight
[23:49] difference between connection leing
[23:50] versus Local Host cachi also that is
[23:53] also one of the important
[23:55] FAQ okay LSC we can tell it has been
[23:58] added from later versions and currently
[24:01] we have Local Host cachi itself
[24:03] connection leasing has been disabled and
[24:06] in six and 6.5 we have load evaluators
[24:09] are there like CPU utilization what is
[24:12] the load on that memory utilization disc
[24:14] IO like this year in the 7.x what
[24:17] happened is it has been added with
[24:19] policies itself with the load
[24:22] balancing policies okay so then we have
[24:26] the Jone preference and Jones that
[24:28] trying to add Jones kind of concept also
[24:31] in 7.x but 6 and 6.5 having form and
[24:34] Jones form is like multi- region kind of
[24:38] thing whereas Jones are Regional kind of
[24:41] things okay the same kind of
[24:43] infrastructure as been trying to
[24:44] implement in 7.x also okay so then like
[24:49] whenever we want to restart the servers
[24:52] we need to use a reboot policy is there
[24:55] but now we can schedule can you tell me
[24:57] where we need to schedule this restart
[24:58] schedule is in the delivery controller
[25:01] like sorry uh desktop assignments or
[25:04] delivery assignments we can configure
[25:06] these kind of schedules
[25:09] also okay so but previously we used to
[25:11] apply a schedule policy like in the
[25:14] group policies or maybe with the Citrix
[25:17] policies we used to restart the
[25:20] servers and previously Citrix having
[25:23] streaming profiler but now that
[25:25] streaming profiler has been already uh
[25:27] stopped the supporter Citrix having a
[25:30] previous one one very good product that
[25:32] is also called a streaming profiler but
[25:35] 6.5 onwards streaming profiler end of
[25:38] life has been
[25:39] declared okay so now they have
[25:41] integrated with the ABV kind of like a
[25:44] Ab kind of application integration is
[25:47] there okay so then like authentication
[25:51] like storefront having like one more one
[25:53] more important feature is web interface
[25:55] has been replaced from
[25:58] stor
[25:59] front Okay so and provisioning wise if
[26:03] you want thousand zenap servers we can
[26:06] use like only PVS only at that moment
[26:09] but now VDS servers also MCS is
[26:12] supported that means you want th000 vda
[26:14] multisession o you can provision them
[26:16] through MCS also but that is not
[26:19] possible
[26:20] through zenap 6.5 and for the monitoring
[26:24] wise in zenap 6 we have Edge site but
[26:27] now that is called
[26:29] as director but when it comes to
[26:33] 6.5 already director and edite support
[26:37] also is
[26:38] there director and edite support is
[26:41] there stor friend Support also is there
[26:43] for 6.5 also but lot of people uh
[26:47] doesn't aware
[26:50] that okay so like this here we should
[26:52] able to tell some differences
[26:55] between FMA versus Ima
[26:58] or most of them are 6.5 to 7.x also the
[27:02] major
[27:05] changes so architecture wise also like
[27:08] we have lot of changes are
[27:11] there architecture wise also we have lot
[27:14] of changes like IMA versus FMA is there
[27:18] now previously we have the
[27:23] IMA
[27:24] okay so we need to we need to have the
[27:27] IMA in
[27:29] six and Jone data collector some jdc
[27:32] election process all these we have in
[27:34] the 6.5 okay and we have the like uh uh
[27:39] we we have the different kind of roles
[27:42] like license server is there data
[27:43] collector application server okay now
[27:46] most of them we have like controller vda
[27:49] server vda desktop kind of things and we
[27:52] don't have jdc kind of all this
[27:54] communication like election process all
[27:57] that we don't have
[27:59] and main advantage from the 7.x is
[28:03] single pain of management both Zen app
[28:05] Zen desktop has been integrated with the
[28:08] single point of solution and previously
[28:10] we have two types of like
[28:13] uh one is App Center just like citric
[28:16] Studio we have app center and Zen
[28:18] desktop wise the Zen desktop console
[28:20] would be there but now both can be
[28:23] managed
[28:24] from single itself technically if you
[28:27] want to tell like zenap is nothing
[28:30] but vda
[28:32] on multi- session voice Zen desktop is
[28:36] nothing but video on single session o
[28:40] but the controllers Studio director all
[28:43] these management kind of components have
[28:46] been unified into single kind of
[28:49] console have been unified into single
[28:52] kind of console and th they called as
[28:54] FMA kind of
[28:56] thing okay previously it's a little
[28:59] tough to manage all those but now what
[29:01] is the main advantage is citric studio
[29:04] is a centralized Management console for
[29:06] both both the things simplified
[29:08] management both the sites can be easily
[29:12] managed and both it supports VD
[29:15] multisession OS also supports both MCS
[29:19] and PVS both MCS and PVS is both are
[29:25] supported but one of the one of the
[29:27] challenge is application streaming or
[29:30] streaming applications have been removed
[29:32] from 7. T but those have been stopped at
[29:35] 6.5 what is the main advantage of
[29:38] streaming profiler is offline also your
[29:41] applications can be delivered means if
[29:44] you don't have the internet or
[29:45] connectivity to your zenap server also
[29:49] offline also those applications can be
[29:51] connected but we need a streaming agent
[29:54] should be
[29:55] there okay our offline agent is called
[29:59] that should be there but now that we can
[30:00] give through ABV also we can
[30:05] give we have Citrix Receiver is there
[30:08] now it's called as workspace app okay
[30:11] workspace app is
[30:13] there Local Host cach wise initially
[30:16] initially 7.x having some disadvantages
[30:20] because zenap 6 and 6.5 Local Host cachy
[30:23] is one of the one of the best feature
[30:26] for the database High available
[30:28] but later 7.6 onwards they have
[30:31] implemented that kind
[30:33] of
[30:35] LH sir yeah this HDX means what HDX HDX
[30:41] is the high definition experience when
[30:43] we are delivering the multimedia kind of
[30:45] content or graphic kind of content there
[30:47] would be lot of load on the servers lot
[30:50] of load on the network in order to
[30:52] compress and optimize way to deliver
[30:54] that Citrix have their own technology
[30:57] called as h HDX stands for high
[31:00] definition experience but even in 6.5
[31:03] also 6 also they have HDX is there
[31:06] before also but they have enhanced those
[31:11] features in 6 and 6.5 also HDX is there
[31:15] but they have enhanced those features
[31:18] and 6.5 almost end of life has been
[31:20] declared only for The Limited customers
[31:23] they're supporting but no updates are
[31:25] available only if they have any Legacy
[31:28] applications they're going to use but
[31:30] 7.x lot of ltsr versions are supported
[31:33] patching is available updates are
[31:34] available hence always recommended to
[31:36] use 7. T
[31:40] itself okay so where we have the FMA
[31:43] simplified management enhan user
[31:46] experience okay so easy to administrate
[31:49] high availability integrates with the
[31:51] cloud also very well okay so that suits
[31:54] for today today like a virtual apps and
[31:57] desktops and ronments it it meets the
[32:00] current uh like
[32:03] needs say hence compared to six and 6.5
[32:06] at that moment those are the very stable
[32:08] products today better to go for the
[32:10] higher version of Citrix itself always
[32:12] recommended to
[32:17] use
[32:20] okay so like this we need to tell the
[32:23] FMA versus IMA and the second question
[32:26] is zenap 6.
[32:30] to 7.x we should able to tell the
[32:35] differences okay so then in 7.x unified
[32:39] app and desktop experience improve
[32:42] scalability High availability FMA has
[32:45] been replaced IMA storefront has been
[32:48] replaced with the web interface kind of
[32:50] thing desktop directory integration
[32:52] power management has been simplified and
[32:55] like we we don't have multiple consoles
[32:58] okay enhance security compliance
[33:01] monitoring has been improved okay so
[33:04] these all the differences we should able
[33:06] to
[33:09] tell okay so then there would be
[33:11] definitely uh one question regarding the
[33:14] Citrix port numbers so what are the IC
[33:17] port numbers IMA port numbers okay then
[33:20] license server kind of port numbers FMA
[33:23] related port numbers also ICA what is
[33:26] what are the two port numbers we have
[33:28] normal connection is 1494 and for the
[33:32] session relability we'll
[33:34] use 2598 CTIC uses two port numbers one
[33:39] is 1494 and second one is 298 and
[33:42] previously we have IMA now we don't have
[33:45] the IMA that is 2512 and 2513 are the
[33:50] port numbers for IMA what are the IMA
[33:53] port numbers 2512 and 2513 are the
[33:58] IMA port numbers we
[34:01] have okay so then license server what
[34:05] are the license server port
[34:12] numbers so license 27,000
[34:16] 27,000 yeah second one
[34:20] 883 and
[34:22] 72 79 79 that is the vendor Diamond Port
[34:26] 7279 is the
[34:28] soend Diamond Port we have okay
[34:30] communication port number is 27,000
[34:32] 27,000 with with the product
[34:35] and so that that's communication is
[34:38] going to happen with that
[34:40] communication okay so these two also the
[34:42] important um port
[34:48] numbers okay so then FMA related we
[34:51] don't have 2512 and 2513 we don't
[34:55] have okay so we don't have but but F
[34:58] normally will
[35:01] use 80 443 for the internal
[35:04] communication between the controllers
[35:06] all those 1494 2598 anyhow I is required
[35:09] 8081 8081 these all the ports we have in
[35:13] the FMA
[35:15] related and definitely we have one
[35:19] question how the applications are
[35:21] desktops are going to be resource
[35:23] delivery or maybe in other words Citrix
[35:26] enumeration process
[35:28] so we need to we need to able to explain
[35:30] Citrix enumeration process already we
[35:33] have discussed this one but tomorrow
[35:36] again I'll explain what is the Citrix
[35:37] enumeration uh process because we have
[35:40] lot of questions to discuss but before
[35:42] going for interview everyone need to
[35:45] prepare what is the Citrix enumeration
[35:49] process so how end to end how the you
[35:52] client devices are connecting or
[35:53] endpoint devices are connecting and how
[35:56] the resource delivery is going going to
[35:57] happen from the Citrix
[36:00] Vice
[36:03] okay then definitely there would be a
[36:06] question between in the Citrix like 7.x
[36:10] what are the differences between
[36:11] catalogs and delivery groups also so a
[36:14] lot of lot of people are asking what are
[36:16] the differences between catalogs and
[36:18] delivery groups so the the collection of
[36:21] devices either those may be virtual
[36:24] missions physical missions or through
[36:26] MCS or PVS we are going to create the
[36:29] cataloges those are the collection of
[36:31] virtual missions as a one managed kind
[36:35] of entity we are going to manage and
[36:37] those we are going to assign to the
[36:39] users by creating the delivery
[36:43] groups okay the mission resources have
[36:45] been created by creating the cataloges
[36:48] once we create the cataloges those have
[36:50] been assigning to the users or maybe the
[36:53] desktops or apps are delivered to the
[36:56] users by creating the delivery
[36:59] groups by creating the delivery groups
[37:02] otherwise even we can deliver the
[37:03] applications also those are called AS
[37:06] application delivery groups previously
[37:08] or application groups also we can
[37:11] call okay so as of now while delivering
[37:14] the delivery groups itself we can
[37:16] integrate the applications also
[37:19] there okay so then what are the Citrix
[37:22] license types we have Citrix license
[37:25] having user device kind of thing
[37:27] concurrent kind of licenses okay so how
[37:30] we need to manage the license and what
[37:32] are the license server port numbers and
[37:35] what is the impact if the license server
[37:38] goes
[37:40] down what is the impact if the license
[37:42] server goes down no impact because there
[37:45] is a um 30 30 days grace period yeah 30
[37:49] days grace period that is within the 30
[37:51] days we need to bring our license server
[37:53] up 30 days is a very big time to the
[37:55] administrators to restore that server
[37:58] if it is maybe 24 hours we need to rush
[38:00] it okay but 30 days is a is a very good
[38:04] time there is no impact to the users
[38:07] even if
[38:09] the license server goes down but which
[38:12] type of license models we have and what
[38:15] is the version of the CX also we need to
[38:17] go
[38:19] through okay so whether we may have the
[38:21] concurrent license or user device
[38:23] license only user specific license or
[38:26] device kind of license like this mostly
[38:29] we'll have the like company May purchase
[38:31] a concurrent that means at any point of
[38:33] time my concurrent users are 4,000 more
[38:36] than 4,000 we don't allow if we go for a
[38:39] user device based on the user and device
[38:43] ID okay one license has been assigned if
[38:46] any of the user is changed or device is
[38:49] changed then so that means same user if
[38:52] he connects from two devices how many
[38:54] licenses are used
[39:00] okay in the user device same user he
[39:03] connected
[39:06] from two
[39:08] devices then how many licenses have been
[39:13] used one license no no in the user
[39:16] device combination two licenses should
[39:18] be used okay because user use same user
[39:22] device is changed right mhm so otherwise
[39:26] what I can do is for everyone I'll tell
[39:28] the same username and let log to Citrix
[39:31] with the same username
[39:34] itself okay so definitely here if the
[39:37] either the user changes or device
[39:42] changes a new license would be counted
[39:45] by the license
[39:48] server okay in the concurrent they don't
[39:50] worry about all these 4,000 users 4,000
[39:53] sessions are connected
[39:58] okay so if the user log off again that
[40:00] comes to the license pool that can be
[40:02] assigned to another another
[40:06] user okay so like this here we need to
[40:08] have an idea on what are the license
[40:10] models all those also maybe for the
[40:12] fresher all is not required but for the
[40:15] L3 guys we need to have a good knowledge
[40:17] on the licensing model also okay so then
[40:21] like the next set of questions is like
[40:24] tomorrow we'll discuss this one how to
[40:26] troubleshoot if if our apps or resources
[40:29] or desktops are not
[40:32] delivered okay see if what are the all
[40:35] possible ways we need to tell for
[40:38] this okay if your resources are not
[40:41] delivering to the Citrix okay every day
[40:43] we would be getting one or two these
[40:46] kind of issues we should able to solve
[40:48] this
[40:49] one okay already we discussed about tell
[40:52] me about your infrastructure right and
[40:55] tell me about your team size also you
[40:57] can tell a team of around uh 8 to 10
[41:00] people you can tell or if it is a bigger
[41:01] infrastructure you can tell 12 to 20
[41:04] also you can tell the team
[41:06] size okay so then everyone need to tell
[41:09] about their infrastructure and one
[41:13] common issue mostly in the Citrix
[41:15] environment we are getting is
[41:17] unregistered issues what is that
[41:20] unregistered yeah Citrix unregistered
[41:23] issue also we should discuss more
[41:25] because most of the people will ask us
[41:27] mandatory how we are going to
[41:29] troubleshoot
[41:31] Citrix unregistered issue tomorrow we
[41:34] are going to discuss how to troubleshoot
[41:37] if the desktops or apps are not
[41:38] delivering
[41:42] or second one is unregistered issue and
[41:46] one more third FAQ people will ask us
[41:49] this like your your catalog or desktop
[41:52] group is in unknown power State what is
[41:55] the what is the issue unknown
[41:59] unknown power St unknown State okay that
[42:02] that unknown power State we have not
[42:05] status unknown
[42:07] power state state unknown power State we
[42:10] have that how to troubleshoot also we
[42:12] need to discuss and tomorrow everyone
[42:15] need to come with one scenario what is
[42:18] the major issue you have faced in your
[42:21] environment this is also one of the
[42:23] common uh
[42:27] people
[42:28] will will ask
[42:33] it okay so that's we need to
[42:36] tell so what we need to we need to tell
[42:39] is one of the major challenge tomorrow
[42:41] everyone need to come with today prepare
[42:43] that what is the major challenge you
[42:46] have encountered in your in your
[42:50] job okay and we are going to discuss the
[42:53] enumeration process from the storefront
[42:55] wise and people will ask us even not the
[42:59] storefront is not our access point we're
[43:02] going to access
[43:07] through net scalar from the net scalar
[43:10] wise also we need to tell the that means
[43:12] users are going to access from the
[43:14] storefront we used to tell all these
[43:16] days but now we need to tell from
[43:22] the from the net scaler if the users
[43:24] access from the net scaler uh how we are
[43:27] going to troubleshoot we need to
[43:31] tell so we'll discuss this also and from
[43:35] the Citrix wise PVS wise one of the
[43:37] major like important question is how to
[43:41] update our VD SC a manually we can
[43:43] update or automatically and in that
[43:46] scenario also we are going to use uh
[43:48] like V disk update through vering we
[43:51] should able to
[43:54] tell we should tell versioning is a
[43:57] method we have used and we are going to
[43:59] create a new version of the V disk then
[44:01] again booting performing all the changes
[44:04] like bringing into maintenance mode all
[44:06] that what are the update steps this one
[44:09] also is mandatory from the PBS
[44:12] wise okay then there would be some
[44:15] questions related to citric group
[44:17] policies what are the what are the
[44:19] policies some important policies like
[44:21] how we are going to enable disabling the
[44:23] virtual channels and how we are going to
[44:26] disable the virual channels depends upon
[44:28] the requirements some of the user
[44:30] profile related policies in the
[44:32] yesterday session we discussed most of
[44:34] the policies also and some of the
[44:36] important policies we should able to
[44:38] tell these are the policies we have used
[44:41] and what are the policy filters we have
[44:45] also we should be able to explain what
[44:47] are the citric uh like uh policies also
[44:52] we should able to explain to
[44:54] that okay so then PVS wise another
[44:58] important question is what are the PVS
[45:00] boot process we have what are the PVS
[45:03] once the device booted it goes to like
[45:06] maybe Dora process DHCP then tftp
[45:10] booting then it's going to do the tftp
[45:12] server or boot server identifies yeah
[45:15] DBP 32. bin then booting the device
[45:19] streaming is happening these all the
[45:21] steps we need to able to
[45:25] tell Okay so
[45:28] then once we explain the PVS booting
[45:31] process all those so we'll discuss these
[45:34] uh how to explain the
[45:36] answers so we need to troubleshoot
[45:39] unregistered issues or if the desktops
[45:41] or apps are not delivering to the user
[45:44] okay then like U uh unknown power status
[45:48] also unnown power status or power
[45:52] State okay then like we need to we need
[45:55] to tell about your infrastructure
[45:57] and what are the major issues faced in
[45:59] our environment then what is our team
[46:02] size okay so mostly we'll have project
[46:05] manager L2 L3 L1 kind of L1 itself may
[46:09] be called as help desk also and we don't
[46:12] have a separate Network team but you can
[46:14] tell you have a separate hypervisor and
[46:16] networking team
[46:19] also okay so then how to update the vs
[46:23] and all these steps also we need to tell
[46:26] and coming to Citrix group policies some
[46:29] of the important policies maybe we l but
[46:33] that we need to prepare before itself
[46:34] these are the policies like maybe
[46:36] enabling audio kind of thing plug
[46:38] andplay kind of devices printer settings
[46:41] profile management settings or bandwidth
[46:44] how we are going to allocate the
[46:46] percentages and load balancing policies
[46:48] now have been integrated with the Citrix
[46:50] policies itself all these we need to
[46:53] tell then we have the Citrix PBS and MCS
[46:57] wise what are the advantages and
[46:59] disadvantages what is the main advantage
[47:01] of PVS is in the large scale
[47:04] infrastructure resource utilization is
[47:06] very less cost can be reduced by PVS The
[47:10] Benchmark is if you have 2,000 plus
[47:13] desktops whereas MCS if you have less
[47:16] than 2,000 desktops MCS is the best one
[47:20] okay so even we need to tell more
[47:22] differences also okay then Citrix
[47:25] printing will discuss what are the major
[47:27] challenges if the client side printers
[47:29] are not autoc connecting then how to
[47:32] troubleshoot
[47:34] them so we need to troubleshoot if the
[47:37] Citrix printing is not happening or
[47:38] printers are not autoc creating then we
[47:41] should tell how the MCS works and how
[47:44] the PVS Works what are the major
[47:46] differences between them advantages
[47:49] disadvantages of each also we should
[47:51] have a good knowledge and from the PVS
[47:54] Vice if the V disk is not
[47:57] booting like how to troubleshoot so this
[48:00] also in the previous session we have
[48:01] discussed If the previous device has
[48:04] been not booting like we need to check
[48:06] the DHCP
[48:08] 6667 then wi Shar kind of thing Network
[48:11] troubleshooting Solutions where the the
[48:14] PVS server services are running or not
[48:17] firewall ports Network related any
[48:19] issues are there and services on the PBS
[48:22] are working or not we disquise any
[48:24] issues so these all the things you need
[48:27] to check uh if you have any problem with
[48:29] the V disk is not booting but V disk is
[48:32] booting but user is complaining
[48:35] performance wise we have lot of issues
[48:38] then we need to check the network
[48:39] bandwidth we need to check it what is
[48:42] the size of the V dis what is the right
[48:44] cachy location we have enabled and iops
[48:47] wise also we need to check that size of
[48:50] the V dis and what like maybe driver
[48:53] related any issues patching related like
[48:56] this the vdis performance is poor also
[48:59] we need to we need to
[49:01] troubleshoot in the same way what are
[49:04] the service names with the PBS say some
[49:06] of the important PBS service names in
[49:09] the same way even virtual apps and
[49:11] desktops also can you tell me some of
[49:12] the PVS service names which are
[49:17] important so PVS wise the main important
[49:19] servic is streaming
[49:22] service okay tftp
[49:25] service okay said streaming service
[49:28] bootp service tftp service okay so then
[49:31] for
[49:32] the authentication authorization we have
[49:35] PVS soap Services
[49:38] there okay so we have the PVS soap
[49:40] service also is one of the important uh
[49:42] service like this from the virtual apps
[49:46] and desktops what are the important
[49:47] service from the PVS wi what are the
[49:50] service from the VD on server wise also
[49:53] what are the important service we need
[49:54] to tell
[49:59] so what are the advantages of policies
[50:01] and why we need to use the policies PVS
[50:04] boot
[50:05] process okay so
[50:10] then say Citrix PVS faster image updates
[50:14] reduce storage reduce hypervisor
[50:16] requirements and better
[50:19] scalability okay whereas MCS is easy to
[50:22] set up if you have less than 2,000
[50:24] desktops in your environment recommend
[50:26] to go for MCS if you have more than that
[50:29] better to go
[50:33] for if you have more than that better to
[50:35] go for PBS but only the disadvantage is
[50:39] little complex kind of setup management
[50:42] okay potential performance issues with
[50:44] the network kind of bandwidth kind of
[50:46] issues and if the V size is very
[50:50] big okay so then like more storage is
[50:54] required slower image times and slower
[50:57] image updates are there with the
[51:01] MCS and some of the important CX
[51:04] policies also we need to prepare before
[51:06] going for
[51:10] interviews and printing we'll discuss
[51:12] some of the the client side printers are
[51:15] not automatically connecting over the
[51:17] session then how to
[51:20] troubleshoot so PBS uses linked clone
[51:23] kind of technology in order to create
[51:25] the multiple missions once you give one
[51:28] Mission once you create the catalog
[51:30] through MCS all those virtual missions
[51:32] from the single image it's going to
[51:35] create and PBS uses streaming kind of
[51:38] capabilities and using the V disk
[51:41] multiple devices are booting both are
[51:43] going to give single instance management
[51:47] or single image management but we have
[51:49] some advantages and disadvantages with
[51:52] the both the techniques
[51:57] and we need to check the network related
[51:59] configurations image V dis has been
[52:01] corrupted any device drivers any PVS
[52:04] server wise networking DHCP server wise
[52:08] our PVS server services are running or
[52:11] not available PVS is there any load
[52:13] balancing issues so these all the areas
[52:16] we need to
[52:20] check and in in order to improve the PVS
[52:23] V disc performance we need to optimize
[52:25] the storage reduce the V disk size
[52:28] increase the network band width anyhow
[52:29] these all like not possible all of
[52:32] sudden but we need to tell the some of
[52:35] the best
[52:36] practices and we'll discuss sitf fix
[52:39] wise also Zen desktop or app wise also
[52:41] how to improve the
[52:43] performance okay so then what is the HDX
[52:46] high definition experience so high
[52:48] definition experience is one of the CTIC
[52:50] proprietary kind of Technology when we
[52:53] are going to deliver multimedia graph
[52:56] kind of content in an optimized way
[52:59] Citrix is going to
[53:01] deliver okay and definitely Local Host
[53:05] cachy versus connection leing also there
[53:08] would be
[53:10] questions and tomorrow everyone need to
[53:12] tell some of the challenges one of the
[53:14] most challenging one and some of the
[53:16] challenges also everyone need to prepare
[53:18] at least five to 10
[53:20] issues then another important question
[53:23] is in the Microsoft wise we are going to
[53:25] use the RDP
[53:27] and uh Citrix wise we are going to
[53:33] use yeah IA or IA okay so remote desktop
[53:37] protocol is a Microsoft proprietary
[53:39] protocol whereas IA is Citrix protocol
[53:43] whereas
[53:44] security performance user
[53:48] experience multimedia content delivery
[53:51] okay so all these low
[53:54] bandwidth all these are possible with a
[53:58] not possible with
[54:00] RDP okay RDP require lot of bandwidth
[54:04] and less secure compared to uh IA and
[54:08] multimedia support all these all these
[54:11] like not at the RDP can do all this but
[54:15] not at the level of what Citrix can
[54:18] do ICA is very very
[54:22] powerful okay in order to deliver in an
[54:25] optimized way if you you use RDP session
[54:27] if you use AA session 99% of the people
[54:31] will tell AA is very
[54:33] powerful compared to RDP what is the
[54:36] port number for
[54:39] RDP what is the port number for
[54:42] rdp3 89 89 okay so 389 is the port
[54:46] number for uh
[54:48] RDP okay
[54:57] say Citrix profile management wise we
[54:59] have the Citrix profile upm we have
[55:01] Microsoft wise also robing profiles FS
[55:04] Logics third party tools also like
[55:06] absense so these all the profile
[55:08] Management Solutions we are going to
[55:16] use and definitely we need to upgrade
[55:19] our Citrix environments we need to
[55:21] upgrade our Citrix environments also so
[55:25] we need to we need to per perform the
[55:28] upgrade so here I will explain how in
[55:31] which order we need to perform the
[55:33] upgrade also so there would be an order
[55:36] how we need to perform the upgrade our
[55:38] Citrix
[55:48] environments now whenever we are going
[55:50] to perform the
[55:53] upgrade first we need to prepare and we
[55:56] need to assess need to take a backup
[55:58] also then the can you tell me which
[56:00] component first we need to
[56:02] upgrade uh license server yeah Citrix
[56:05] license server is the first one and we
[56:07] need to have the updated licenses also
[56:10] and always any of the Citrix product
[56:14] higher version of the product is not
[56:20] supporting is not supporting uh the
[56:24] older version of license server
[56:28] okay that means if the Citrix version is
[56:30] higher and license server is down it
[56:33] won't support but vice versa is supports
[56:36] can you tell me what is the vice
[56:40] versa license server is a higher Citrix
[56:43] product version
[56:45] is lower version it
[56:48] supports okay but if the if the license
[56:51] server is older version If the product
[56:53] version is
[56:55] higher it won't support hence always in
[56:58] the Citrix environment always start the
[57:01] upgradation with the license server
[57:05] itself with the license server itself
[57:07] you need to perform
[57:09] the
[57:11] upgradation okay so after upgrading the
[57:13] license server what is the next
[57:15] component we need to
[57:21] upgrade so what is the next component we
[57:23] need to upgrade we need to upgrade the
[57:24] storefront server
[57:28] so we need to upgrade the the storefront
[57:30] server after license server storefront
[57:32] server then upgrade the director
[57:35] also and if you're are using PBS in your
[57:38] environment then PBS servers also all
[57:40] those V disc all those also we need to
[57:44] update okay so can you tell me the first
[57:47] five servers what what is the order
[57:49] first we need to go with license server
[57:52] license
[57:54] server then storefront
[57:57] director PBS then half of the
[58:00] controllers itself that means if you
[58:01] have 20
[58:03] controllers upgrade 10
[58:07] controllers okay after that upgrade the
[58:12] studio okay after Studio restart that
[58:15] server also restart that means you have
[58:17] the close and uh open again the
[58:22] session okay if you have any session is
[58:24] Open studio Clos the that session again
[58:27] open the studio
[58:29] one okay then ninth step is important we
[58:33] need to have the newer version of
[58:34] database maybe that schema we need to
[58:36] import the schema and all the changes
[58:39] also we need to
[58:41] update okay so that some DBA scripts
[58:44] also we may have after DBA has been
[58:47] upgrade then we need to
[58:51] do then we need remaining controller
[58:54] yeah remaining controllers we have 20
[58:56] controllers we have upgraded only 10
[58:59] controllers then
[59:01] vdas after vda we need to vda vda means
[59:06] that mission we need to if you have a
[59:07] master mission go to that Master Mission
[59:11] okay on top of that upgrade
[59:14] the on top of that that Master Mission
[59:17] upgrade the vda like VD on Multi session
[59:20] o or multi- session single session OS
[59:23] that's we need to perform the upgrade
[59:27] okay so after that upgrade the cataloges
[59:30] and uh delivery groups
[59:33] also okay so like this we need to
[59:37] perform the upgrade steps upgradation is
[59:41] easy installations are easy itself but
[59:43] this order all these very important one
[59:45] of the crucial upgrade is the database
[59:48] upgrade is the most challenging part
[59:51] here and before taking the database
[59:54] upgrade definitely for the the previous
[59:57] previous version we need to take a
[59:59] backup
[01:00:01] also so we need to take a backup of the
[01:00:04] the database also we need to
[01:00:10] take so one server will try to upgrade
[01:00:13] the older versions and before that we
[01:00:15] need to check the compatibility of those
[01:00:17] also whether those versions are
[01:00:19] compatible from which version we have
[01:00:21] which which patch levels we have
[01:00:23] cumulative packs we have that compatible
[01:00:26] kind of things also we need to check
[01:00:33] it
[01:00:37] okay see here before there are some you
[01:00:41] have any pbds app dis these are not
[01:00:44] supported in the newer versions those
[01:00:45] all we need to remove okay so then we
[01:00:48] need to purchase the newer licenses also
[01:00:50] and we need to upgrade the license
[01:00:52] server then that new license file we
[01:00:54] need to copy to the to that license
[01:00:57] server then upgrade the
[01:01:01] storefront then director then PVS then
[01:01:05] half of the
[01:01:10] controllers okay then
[01:01:15] Studio then database
[01:01:26] before the database there are some poell
[01:01:28] commands also we have so using those
[01:01:31] poell commands also we can
[01:01:34] run then we need to upgrade the
[01:01:36] remaining controllers
[01:01:39] VDS then upgrade the catalogs delivery
[01:01:42] groups all those we need to upgrade and
[01:01:45] after the upgrade also our job is not
[01:01:47] done we need to make sure like
[01:01:49] everything has been working fine or not
[01:01:52] we need to have some testing also need
[01:01:54] to perform
[01:01:58] and here database level also we have
[01:01:59] some of the schema wise like uh
[01:02:02] compatibility things all those we have
[01:02:05] and personal V disc uh some of the
[01:02:08] features are not supported in the newer
[01:02:10] version those all we need to remove
[01:02:12] while while
[01:02:19] upgrading okay so like this order we
[01:02:21] need to
[01:02:23] perform the V dis app dis or personal V
[01:02:26] dis these all not
[01:02:29] supported and after post post like
[01:02:33] upgradation need to check all the
[01:02:35] services like controllers stor friend
[01:02:37] related licensing vda all those licenses
[01:02:40] database connectivity is there site
[01:02:42] Health from the director wise okay
[01:02:44] controller availability
[01:02:46] configurations okay the license servers
[01:02:49] all these Health also we need to check
[01:02:53] it okay unregistered issues we shouldn't
[01:02:56] get vda registration should be very
[01:02:57] smooth vda status should be smooth okay
[01:03:01] desktop should be available and
[01:03:02] application should be launched
[01:03:04] performance should be good okay so
[01:03:07] profile should work properly all these
[01:03:09] post kind of things also we need to
[01:03:11] check
[01:03:13] it and sometimes if any disaster happens
[01:03:15] also we may need to restore that also so
[01:03:19] that is the purpose before doing any
[01:03:21] upgradation definitely we need to have
[01:03:23] the snapshots backups all these we need
[01:03:25] to configure and from there we need to
[01:03:27] restore
[01:03:28] those if any failure happens we need to
[01:03:31] identify the failure point where your
[01:03:33] upgradation has been failure check the
[01:03:35] logs and inform that to the clients also
[01:03:39] or users also end users they have a
[01:03:42] downtime okay then uh stop all the
[01:03:45] services restore the say because the
[01:03:48] existing one is corrupted or not
[01:03:50] happening the upgrade then restore from
[01:03:52] the databases or backups then back to
[01:03:56] that vda previous version itself rever
[01:03:58] back and license server will one one
[01:04:01] advantage of the license server is the
[01:04:03] higher version of license server also
[01:04:05] supports the back end kind of things
[01:04:08] before that also license server also we
[01:04:10] need to take the
[01:04:13] backup okay but before doing directly
[01:04:15] all these in the production environment
[01:04:17] in the real time we'll have a staging
[01:04:20] environment will do later itself will do
[01:04:22] into the production and finally we can
[01:04:24] contact citric Support
[01:04:29] also so these all the things we need to
[01:04:32] work and definitely one more interview
[01:04:34] question is what are the differences we
[01:04:36] have observed from the uh web interface
[01:04:39] to storefront in six we have web
[01:04:42] interface 6.5 supports both web
[01:04:44] interface and storefront but 7.x onwards
[01:04:47] mostly we have the storefront so hence
[01:04:51] people will ask us the difference
[01:04:52] between storefront versus web interface
[01:04:54] also
[01:04:57] okay so once we discuss that upgrading
[01:05:00] all
[01:05:01] those so here
[01:05:03] uh how we are going to do the patch
[01:05:05] management how we are going to manage
[01:05:08] the rebooting the servers also so these
[01:05:10] also every week kind of things or maybe
[01:05:13] every 15 days every monthly also we are
[01:05:16] going to do sometimes uh if more patches
[01:05:19] are coming and more issues are there
[01:05:22] every day also we need to do this patch
[01:05:24] management kind of things and every day
[01:05:26] we would be getting profile corruption
[01:05:28] also any of the user profile may be
[01:05:29] corrupting we need to restore that
[01:05:31] profile kind of things also from the
[01:05:33] backup okay so these also every day we
[01:05:36] will be doing so these all we'll discuss
[01:05:39] in the tomorrow
[01:05:43] class okay any any
[01:05:48] doubts say Citrix interview is very easy
[01:05:53] if you prepare in a in a planned way
[01:06:02] uh for everything uh mean we should know
[01:06:05] only a single point I think we need to
[01:06:08] know we need to know we need to you need
[01:06:10] to do some ground
[01:06:11] work need to prepare some use cases that
[01:06:14] tomorrow everyone need to participate I
[01:06:16] prepar lot of documentation right like
[01:06:19] this you also prepare some some of the
[01:06:21] issues like
[01:06:24] this okay these all the areas I'll check
[01:06:26] it like this if you're able to explain
[01:06:28] 10 to 20 issues very frequently same
[01:06:31] kind of issues would be
[01:06:37] coming
[01:06:41] okay okay okay sir okay go through this
[01:06:46] video for two to three times and prepare
[01:06:49] according to this then very easy to
[01:06:52] crack the interviews
[01:06:54] also yeah thank you
[01:06:56] okay sure thanks yeah sure thank
