Citrix DaaS

HPE Moonshot virtualization environments

Citrix DaaS manages your HPE Moonshot workloads through a Citrix-managed HPE Moonshot plug-in present in the DaaS control plane. With this plug-in, you can create connections to your HPE Moonshot chassis, create catalogs, and power manage machines in the catalog.

Requirement

Enable the feature toggle Enable Citrix-managed HPE Moonshot plug-ins in DaaS > Home > Preview features to power manage HPE Moonshot VMs using DaaS.

Key steps

  1. Set up your HPE environments.
  2. Create a connection to the HPE Moonshot chassis.

    Note:

    After you enable the feature toggle, the Citrix-managed HPE Moonshot plug-in is automatically installed. You can, therefore, continue to use the existing machine catalog using the Citrix-managed Moonshot plug-in instead of the HPE-managed HPE Moonshot plug-in.

  3. Create a machine catalog.

    Note:

    Before creating a catalog, ensure to have one or more HPE Moonshot cartridge nodes and install VDAs on those nodes. You can consider the HPE Moonshot chassis as the hypervisor and the cartridge nodes as VMs.

  4. Create a delivery group.
  5. Migrate the rest of unmanaged HPE Moonshot nodes to the managed catalog or delivery group.
