Measures reported by CtxPVSStrmProcsTest

The Citrix Provisioning server streams vDisks containing image files to target devices using Stream Services. When Citrix PVS server streams vDisks to the target devices using Stream services, a performance counter will be registered and added as a part of Stream Process to capture dynamic information about the provisioning server. The counters so added will reveal the statistics for the latest boot operation of the provisioning server. The CtxPVSStrmProcsTest monitors the target provisioning server and reveals the statistics reported by the performance counters. This test reports the count of login attempts and reconnects and the count of logins that were rejected due to unavailability of devices in the database server and unavailability of vDisks for the target devices. This way, administrators can easily find out why exactly the logins are failing during the streaming process.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for the Citrix Provisional server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Device_not_found Indicates the number of logins that were rejected due to the non-availability of the target devices in the database. Number  
Server_busy Indicates the number of target device logins that were paused because the maximum number of devices that a server allows to boot is reached. Number  
Server_not_avail Indicates the number of target device logins that were rejected because no servers were available for the virtual disk. Number  
Vdisk_not_avail Indicates the number of logins that were rejected because the virtual disk was not available for the target device. Number  .
Trgt_login_attempt Indicates the number of times that a target device attempted to login to the server. Number  
Trgt_reconnect Indicates the number of times that the target device was reconnected to other PVS servers in the PVS farm since vDisk started streaming to the target device. Number The target devices reconnect to another server in the PVS farm when the Provisioning server that streams vDisk to the devices sends a message before the stream service shuts down. The target device then uses the list of login servers and reconnects to another server.
