Fabric network coverage with Microsoft SCVMM 2012 and NetScaler -

As companies move from the data center to the private cloud, the key differentiator is automation complete tissue and management service. Microsoft® System Center 2012 cloud and management solutions data center brings together different pieces to facilitate the deployment and management of applications and private and public cloud infrastructure. It offers a flexible and cost effective solution with all the principles and cloud integrated techniques, managing multi-hypervisor environment and ensures a dynamic resource optimization and provides load balancing and high availability solutions to ensure application availability and acceleration .

As applications are moved to the public / private cloud environment, availability and acceleration remains key. SCVMM 2012 enables support of load balancing solutions and ADC such that they are part of basic functionality fabric management stack. NetScaler as ADC works with SCVMM module long and offers a great value for deployed applications. With the automation of application deployment in the cloud, NetScaler has a key role to play in ensuring application availability, acceleration, optimization, visibility and security. NetScaler can help define service models that can fully automate the deployment and management of applications. SCVMM 2012 specifies a VIP (virtual server) model which simplifies the load balancing configuration and deployment

You can download the NetScaler LB provider package for SCVMM 2012 from :.

https: // www .citrix.com / English / ss / downloads / details.asp downloadId = 2319228 & productId = 21679

Once installation is complete, you can view the package installed in the configuration provider section for Virtual Machine Manager:

now you're ready to add a Load Balancer for NetScaler. Start the wizard Add Load Balancer Load Balancer available network and complete the logical flow:

  • RunAs account
  • Select the host group where NetScaler is available
  • Select the manufacturer and model
  • Specify the host name IP / DNS address
  • Select supplier load balancing configuration
  • Run "test" to validate basic functions of the load balancer

with test success, the load balancing configuration is successful.

now, you must set the VIP model that implements the basic load balancing settings for a virtual server to be created. This step is key, because it defines the parameters that make a highly available, optimized and secure application. The load balancer VIP model wizard takes you through the steps to configure VIP model:

  • Basic Details
    • Model name
    • Description
    • VIP Port
  • type of load balancer
    • Select
    • Manufacturer specific "Citrix Systems, Inc."
    • Model as "Citrix NetScaler"
  • Load Balancing Protocol
    • protocol could be HTTP, HTTPS or custom
    • custom allows you to use the wide variety of protocols available on NetScaler
  • define the persistence settings
    • persistence may be defined as Source IP, Dest IP, ID session or personalized
    • custom allows you to use one of several other persistence settings available
  • Select the load balancing method
    • less Connections, fastest response time, Round Robin or custom
    • with custom, you can use another effective method of load balancing NetScaler
  • define a monitoring health service
    • types available health monitor are HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, PING, UDP
  • configuration Summary of the VIP model

above is a screen example that you want once you get to the last step of this wizard. When you click Finish, load balancer configuration is complete and a VIP model is created. You can now use this model in any service deployment model !!

Start now :)
