Overview

This document provides an overview of ports that are used by Citrix components and must be considered as part of Virtual Computing architecture, especially if communication traffic traverses network components such as firewalls or proxy servers, where ports must be opened to ensure communication flow.

Overview – Supported Databases for Citrix Products

Written by Thomas Poppelgaard. Posted in Citrix, Edgesight, Netscaler, Provisioning, Workflow Studio, XenApp, XenDesktop

I recommend that you look at this chart if you are in doubt about which database you want to use with a Citrix product, this chart gives you a quick overview in red and green colours ;o)

Citrix is committed to ensuring that their products function with the latest Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM databases and clients. Citrix will supply best efforts to ensure compatibility with upcoming database releases. New versions of supported databases (SQL, Oracle, or DB2) released after our products have been released should work. However, Citrix recommends creating a test environment to ensure there are no unforeseen issues related to changes made to the new version or update of the third-party product. Individuals wishing to use the new release with current Citrix products should perform their own testing before using the platform. Citrix does not support any BETA versions of third-party products. Attached to this article is a chart of the tested and supported databases for the following Citrix products:

  • XenApp 6.0 for Windows Server 2008 R2
  • XenApp 5.0 for Windows Server 2008
  • XenApp 5.0/Presentation Server 4.5 for Windows Server 2003 (IMA store, Configuration Logging, Resource Manager, and Resource Manager Summary Database)
  • Power and Capacity Management XenApp 6
  • Power and Capacity Management XenApp 5
  • XenApp Fundamentals 6.0
  • XenApp Fundamentals 3.0
  • XenApp Fundamentals 2.0
  • XenDesktop 5.0
  • XenDesktop 4.0
  • XenDesktop 3.0
  • SmartAuditor 1.3
  • SmartAuditor 1.2
  • SmartAuditor 1.1
  • Provisioning Services 5.6
  • Provisioning Services 5.1
  • Provisioning Services 5.0
  • Advanced Access Control 4.5
  • EdgeSight 5.3
  • EdgeSight 5.2.1
  • EdgeSight 5.1 Service Pack 1

This is a living document; it will be updated as new information becomes available.

Hi Youngtech

Citrix have created this knowledge article http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX131993

So i would say yes there is support from Citrix now, i still have people telling me that if you turn on “Interrupt safe mode” then the issue is still there and vSphere 5 doesn’t work with Citrix Provisioning Server 6

Thomas,

Did Citrix actually make a statement that this is supported now? Send me a DM on Twitter @youngtech if you don’t mind. I’m very curious if Citrix is now supporting PVS w/vSphere 5.

Thanks!

Sorry, not to nag, but it’s called Apple iOS, or just iOS. Not Mac iOS. OS X is often called Mac OS X.

Thanks for a great blog. It’s a great resource to keep up with the virtualization world.
