Downloading the Citrix ADC VPX setup files
The Citrix ADC VPX instance setup package for VMware ESX follows the Open Virtual Machine (OVF) format standard. You can download the files from MyCitrix.com. You need a My Citrix account to log on. If you do not have a My Citrix account, access the home page at http://www.mycitrix.com, click the New Users link, and follow the instructions to create a new My Citrix account.
Once logged on, navigate the following path from the My Citrix home page:
MyCitrix.com > Downloads > Citrix ADC > Virtual Appliances.
Copy the following files to a workstation on the same network as the ESX server. Copy all three files into the same folder.
- NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>-disk1.vmdk (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8-disk1.vmdk)
- NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>.ovf (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8.ovf)
- NSVPX-ESX-<release number>-<build number>.mf (for example, NSVPX-ESX-9.3-39.8.mf )
Label the physical network ports of VMware ESX
Before installing a VPX virtual appliance, label of all the interfaces that you plan to assign to virtual appliances, in a unique format, for example, NS_NIC_1_1, NS_NIC_1_2, and so on. In large deployments, labeling in a unique format helps in quickly identifying the interfaces that are allocated to the VPX virtual appliance among other interfaces used by other virtual machines, such as Windows and Linux. Such labeling is especially important when different types of virtual machines share the same interfaces.
To label the physical network ports of VMware ESX server, follow these steps:
- Log on to the VMware ESX server by using the vSphere client.
- On the vSphere client, select the Configuration tab, and then click Networking.
- At the top-right corner, click Add Networking.
- In the Add Network Wizard, for Connection Type, select Virtual Machine, and then click Next.
- Scroll through the list of vSwitch physical adapters, and choose the physical port that will map to interface 1/1 on the virtual appliances.
- Enter the label of the interface, for example, NS_NIC_1_1 as the name of the vSwitch that will be associated with interface 1/1 of the virtual appliances.
- Click Next to finish the vSwitch creation. Repeat the procedure, beginning with step 2, to add any additional interfaces to be used by your virtual appliances. Label the interfaces sequentially, in the correct format (for example, NS_NIC_1_2).
Install a Citrix ADC VPX instance on VMware ESX
After you have installed and configured VMware ESX, you can use the VMware vSphere client to install virtual appliances on the VMware ESX server. The number of virtual appliances that you can install depends on the amount of memory available on the hardware that is running VMware ESX.
To install Citrix ADC VPX instances on VMware ESX by using VMware vSphere Client, follow these steps:
- Start the VMware vSphere client on your workstation.
- In the IP address / Name text box, type the IP address of the VMware ESX server that you want to connect to.
- In the User Name and Password text boxes, type the administrator credentials, and then click Login.
- On the File menu, click Deploy OVF Template.
- In the Deploy OVF Template dialog box, in Deploy from file, browse to the location at which you saved the Citrix ADC VPX instance setup files, select the .ovf file, and click Next.
- Map the networks shown in the virtual appliance OVF template to the networks that you configured on the ESX host. Click Nextto start installing a virtual appliance on VMware ESX. When installation is complete, a pop-up window informs you of the successful installation.
- You are now ready to start the Citrix ADC VPX instance. In the navigation pane, select the Citrix ADC VPX instance that you have just installed and, from the right-click menu, select Power On. Click the Consoletab to emulate a console port.
- If you want to install another virtual appliance, repeat steps 6through 6.
Note
By default, the Citrix ADC VPX instance uses E1000 network interfaces.
After the installation, you can use vSphere client or vSphere Web Client to manage virtual appliances on VMware ESX.
For the VLAN tagging feature to work,on the VMware ESX, set the port group’s VLAN ID to 1 - 4095 on the VSwitch of VMware ESX server. For more information about setting a VLAN ID on the VSwitch of VMware ESX server, see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_vlan_wp.pdf.
Migrate a Citrix ADC VPX instance by using VMware vMotion
You can migrate a Citrix ADC VPX instance by using VMware vSphere vMotion.
Follow these usage guidelines:
- VMware does not support the vMotion feature on virtual machines configured with PCI Passthrough and SR-IOV interfaces.
- Supported interfaces are E1000 and VMXNET3. To use vMotion on your VPX instance, ensure that the instance is configured with a supported interface.
- For more information about how to migrate an instance by using VMware vMotion, see VMware documentation.
