Measures reported by VmgPVSNetworkTest

Citrix Provisioning Server (PVS) connects to the Virtual server through different networks such as UDP, TCP, etc and streams operating systems and applications as images from shared vDisks through the networks. Continuous image streaming relies on uninterrupted connection between the PVS server and the Virtual server over the network. If the network connection between the target Virtual server and the PVS server disconnect or reconnect more frequently, then the images will not be delivered to the Virtual server as and when required. This will seriously impact the functioning of the Virtual server. To ensure uninterrupted streaming, administrators should continuously monitor the networks that stream images to the target Virtual server. This can be easily done using the VmgPVSNetworkTest.

This test auto-discovers the PVS networks that stream shared disk images to the target Virtual server, and reports the number of times each network tried to reconnect to the target Virtual server.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each PVS network that streams images to the target Virtual server.

Descriptor: PVS Network
