In this chapter, we are going to set up the infrastructure of the Citrix Provisioning Services to create the disk-less infrastructure for the Citrix XenApp 7.6 solution. This will help in the management of a high number of virtual machines via a few virtual disk images. It also has other key benefits, which will be discussed during the chapter.
The things we will be covering in this chapter are as follows:
The Citrix Provisioning Services architecture
Setting up the Citrix Provisioning Services server and configuring it
Installing the Citrix Provisioning Services console
Configuring the boot from network
Configuring the Bootstrap for high availability
Configuring the Master Target Device
Creating a vDisk
Assigning a vDisk to a target device
