What should a Citrix Administrator do to ensure that a vDisk is properly load balanced across multiple Provisioning Services servers in an environment where the Streaming Service is working properly?

The correct answer is A. Go to the vDisk properties to ensure that load balancing is set. In Citrix Provisioning Services, vDisk load balancing is governed by a property set directly on the vDisk, and that setting must be explicitly configured even when the Streaming Service is operational.

Why each option

In Citrix Provisioning Services, vDisk load balancing is governed by a property set directly on the vDisk, and that setting must be explicitly configured even when the Streaming Service is operational.

AGo to the vDisk properties to ensure that load balancing is set.Correct

The vDisk properties dialog contains a dedicated load balancing tab where the administrator configures the algorithm - such as Least Busy Device - that PVS uses to distribute target devices across all servers assigned to stream that vDisk. Without this property being set correctly, PVS will not distribute load even if multiple servers are available and the Streaming Service is running. Verifying and enabling this setting is the authoritative way to ensure balanced streaming.

BRebalance the target devices across the Provisioning Services servers.

Rebalancing target devices is a manual, one-time redistribution operation that does not persist a load balancing policy and does not prevent future imbalance.

CCreate a separate store and assign servers from different sites to load balance the vDisk.

Creating a separate store and assigning servers from different sites to it is an organizational construct for vDisk storage access, not a mechanism for configuring streaming load balancing.

DCheck the association of the servers to a site to ensure all servers are configured to separate

Checking server-to-site association confirms that servers belong to the correct PVS site but does not configure or verify the load balancing property on the vDisk itself.
