Configuration of VDIBoxLicenseTest

This test tracks the usage of the Citrix Startup and VDI in-a-box licenses, and helps determine the following:

  • Whether adequate Citrix startup licenses are available for supporting continuous connections to the Citrix License server;
  • Whether sufficient concurrent user licenses are available or more licenses need to be purchased.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • The port number to which the server is listening is to be provided in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

  • In the VDI IN A BOX HOST text box, the IP address of the vdimanager being monitored has to be specified.

  • The test needs to log on to the VDI in-a-box appliance to pull out the metrics of interest. For this purpose, you need to configure the test with the credentials of a user with login rights to the appliance. By default, the appliance supports a root user named root (with the default password root) and a Read-only user named kvm (with the default password kaviza123). If you prefer not to expose the credentials of the root user, then you can configure the VDI IN A BOX USERNAME and VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameters with the credentials of the user kvm. Confirm the password of this user by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

    Note:

    The default password of user kvm is kaviza123. If this is changed, then make sure you configure the VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameter with the new password.

  • Specify the SSH port number of the vdimanager. By default, this is 22.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a "*" beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a "$" or contain a series of "*". A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
