Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Associate — Question 13

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator has deployed a Citrix Cloud-managed Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site with one on-premises resource location and two
Cloud Connectors. An on-premises StoreFront server group is used to access published resources. During user acceptance testing, due to adverse weather conditions, network connectivity between the on-premises location and Citrix Cloud was broken for several hours.
Which statement describes what will occur in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. One of the Citrix Cloud Connectors at the resource location is elected to be the primary broker and uses its Local Host Cache to broker new sessions and manage existing HDX connections.
• B. Users will NOT be able to access published resources, and existing sessions will be disconnected until network connectivity to Citrix Cloud is restored.
• C. The Citrix Cloud Connectors at the resource location will continue to manage existing sessions, but no new sessions can be initiated until network connectivity to Citrix Cloud is restored.
• D. Each Citrix Cloud Connector at the resource location will continue to broker new connections, for certain FlexCast models, using Connection Leasing and existing HDX connections will NOT be impacted.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when network connectivity is lost, one of the Cloud Connectors will take over as the primary broker and use its Local Host Cache to facilitate session management. Option B is incorrect because existing sessions will not be disconnected. Option C is wrong as it suggests that no sessions can be managed at all, while option D is incorrect since it does not account for the loss of connectivity affecting new sessions.
