Configuration of CtxXcXAMCSSDTest

This test tracks the I/O requests to the driver and reports the rate at which the driver reads from or writes into each of the caches and he system disks in order to process these requests. This way, the test reveals whether/not the caches are doing a good job of preventing direct disk accesses. Additionally, the test also closely monitors how the memory in the in-memory cache and the disk space in the cached disk is utilized, and proactively alerts administrators to any potential resource crunch in the caches. This way, the test provides useful sizing pointers to administrators.

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 Citrix server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the Citrix server listens in the PORT text box.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• 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.
