3.2 Configuring Citrix Load Balancing

A single sign-on operation that is implemented for memory optimization might result in client connection dropouts. However, this does not have any adverse impact on your Citrix server, and you can resolve this by configuring Citrix Load Evaluators to increase the number of allowed page faults.

3.2.1 Creating a New Load Evaluator

  1. Start the Citrix management console, then select Load Evaluators.

  2. Right-click and select New Load Evaluator. The New Evaluator dialog box is displayed.

  3. Specify a name for the Load Evaluator, and a description for the new evaluator.

  4. From the Available Rules list, select Page Faults and Page Swaps, then click Add.

  5. From the Assigned Rules lists, select Page Faults.

    The page default settings are configured in the rule setting section, which is displayed in the bottom half of the New Evaluator dialog box.

  6. Specify a value in the Report full load field when the number of page faults per second is greater than this value field.

  7. Specify a value in the Report full load field when the number of page faults per second if less than or equal to this value field.

  8. From the Assigned Rules list, select Page Swaps to display page swap settings in the rule settings section.

  9. Specify a value in the Report full load field when the number of page swaps per second is greater than this value field.

  10. Specify a value in the Report full load field when the number of page swaps per second is less than or equal to this value field.

  11. Click OK.

    The required Load Evaluators are configured and are loaded to the Citrix server on which Novell SecureLogin is installed.

3.2.2 Loading New Load Evaluators To The Citrix Server

  1. From the Citrix management console, select Servers > Citrix servers.

  2. Right-click the relevant Citrix server name, then select Load Manage Server. The Load Manage Server - <server name> is displayed.

  3. From the Available Load Evaluators list box, select Configured Load Evaluators. Click OK.

    The new Load Evaluators are loaded to the Citrix server.
