Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 25

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer installed and configured two Provisioning Services servers to guarantee high availability. One of the Provisioning Services servers experienced failure and now the write cache is no longer available for the target devices.
Which write cache location is currently being used in this environment?

Answer options

• A. On a fileshare connected to both Provisioning Services servers
• B. On the local disk of both provisioning Services servers
• C. On a persistent disk attached to the virtual desktop
• D. In the RAM of the virtual desktop

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in a high availability setup, if the write cache is not accessible from the Provisioning Services servers, it defaults to using RAM on the virtual desktop. Options A and B are incorrect as they imply a reliance on the Provisioning Services servers, which are not available, and option C is incorrect because persistent disks are not typically used in this context for write caching.
