Question

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator installed AutoCAD 2014 on a vDisk image and asked users to test the application. Users are reporting that the application is NOT available on their Desktop OS machines. The administrator started a test machine and verified that the application is there. What should the administrator do to allow the users to see the application?

Options

  • APromote the vDisk.
  • BRestart the target devices.
  • CChange the vDisk access mode to Private.
  • DChange the target device type to Production.

Why each option

After updating a vDisk image with a new application, target devices must be restarted to boot from the updated vDisk and see the newly installed software.

APromote the vDisk.

Promoting a vDisk changes its version status in the vDisk versioning chain, but does not by itself refresh what running target devices are streaming.

BRestart the target devices.Correct

In Citrix Provisioning Services, target devices stream their OS from a vDisk at boot time. When the vDisk is updated with a new application, devices already running continue to use their currently streamed image. Restarting the target devices forces them to re-stream from the updated vDisk, making the new application available to users.

CChange the vDisk access mode to Private.

Changing the vDisk to Private mode restricts it to a single device for maintenance purposes and would break multi-user access rather than fix visibility.

DChange the target device type to Production.

The target device type classification (Production, Test, Maintenance) controls which vDisk version the device receives, but changing it does not force a refresh of a running device's streamed image.
