Unable to Download ARDBP32.bin when Using XenServer or Hyper-V with HP Flex-10/Flex Fabric Module

Written by Thomas Poppelgaard on. Posted in HP, Provisioning

Symptoms

You are unable to download ARDBP32.bin when using XenServer or Hyper-V with HP Flex-10/Flex Fabric module.

Affected Hardware

HP G7 Blade enclosures using the NC553i with a Flex-10 module

Cause

During the PXE boot process, the target device attempts to download ARDBP32.BIN from the TFTP service that resides on the Provisioning Services server.

Targets that send their TFTP request from a XenServer or Hyper-V Virtual Machine that then passes through the Flex-10 have their UDP checksum invalidated which causes the packet to be dropped when it reaches the Provisioning Services server.

Status

Citrix is aware of the issue and is working with HP and Emulex to resolve this issue.

Workarounds

If the Flex-10 module is replaced with a pass-through module, then the Bin file can download correctly.

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.
Regards

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
