FYI – Next XenServer with overcommited memory (beta marts 2010)

Written by Thomas Poppelgaard. Posted in XenServer

Citrix will release in next version of XenServer a cool long waited feature “overcommitted memory”. The beta will be out in march 2010.

Bill Carovano from Citrix informs on a forum:

Hi Everyone,
Stay tuned…it would be great to get feedback from those of you wanting “overcommitted memory” features, after we release the beta of the next XenServer / Essentials for XenServer release.
While legally I have to preface this statement with “this is not a guarantee, and no purchase decisions should be made on the basis of this statement” we should have something ready for beta testing in the March 2010 timeframe.
Regards,
Bill

 

Check back on XenServer Central in mid February for some more information.

Hi Steve normal I install the GRID driver to device and when its workin, I disable the default VGA device.

Have you applied latest hotfix to the XS6.1 there are some crucial hotfixes to the GPU pass-through, that could crash the GRID’s, when you power on a VM with GPU pass-through.

Just a quick question on your setup. We just got a system similar to yours (R720, 2xGrid K2 cards, XenServer 6.1, XenApp 6.5). The GRID K2 driver installs (320.00), but the device shows up as stopped in device manager. Did you use any special options when installing the nVidia driver? Or somehow remove the default VGA device?

Hi Thomas,
Some features in your screenshots (eg create appointments and contacts) seem to be missing from the iOS version of @WorkMail that got released in April, do you know if these features are still coming in a future release? The Android client is far more functional by comparison.

You can see the DHCP options here:

You can transfer a image using Wyse Device Manager(WDM), the same goes for smaller updates like new ICA client and so.

Thank you Barry =)
The deep compression codec for Citrix XenDesktop HDX 3D Pro will be intergrated for Citrix XenApp in Excalibur so there is a big difference with bandwidth consumption. This means that XenApp in Excalibur will be the best platform for user density and works great over WAN with high latency as HDX 3D Pro have been known to deliver for several years. Yes i know of cases with WAN optimization, I will gather these and share them.

Best regards
Thomas
