Create Linux VDAs using Citrix Provisioning™
You can create domain-joined VDAs using Citrix Provisioning.
This article provides information about streaming Linux target devices. Using this feature, you can provision Linux virtual desktops directly in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops™ environment.
The following Linux distributions are supported:
-
Ubuntu 24.04/22.04
-
RHEL 9.6/9.4/8.10
-
Rocky Linux 9.6/9.4/8.10
Important:
-
Refer to the table below for the applicable Linux target and PVS Server LTSR versions.
-
When using Citrix Provisioning to stream Linux target devices, create a separate boot partition on the single shared-disk image so that the provisioned devices can boot as expected.
-
Avoid formatting any partition with btrfs. GRUB2 has an intrinsic problem finding btrfs partitions. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.
| PVS Linux target version | PVS Server version | Boot up mode support |
|---|---|---|
| Before 2511 | 2203 LTSR | BIOS+UEFI |
| Before 2511 | 2402 LTSR | BIOS |
