Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 37

Scenario: An administrator wishes to add disaster recovery capability to an existing XenApp environment. The administrator built some new servers into a disaster recovery datacenter that has a 1 GB link to the production datacenter.
How should the administrator configure the new servers for users?

Answer options

• A. Add the servers to the existing farm in the same zone and use a custom load evaluator.
• B. Add the servers to the existing farm in the same zone and use a worker group and load balancing policy.
• C. Add the servers to a new farm and use the site failover feature of Web Interface to provide access to the servers.
• D. Add the servers to the existing farm into a new disaster recovery zone and use a preferential load balancing policy.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adding the servers to the existing farm in the same zone allows for consistent management and utilization of resources through a worker group and load balancing policy. Option A is incorrect as a custom load evaluator may not optimally distribute the load. Option C is not ideal since creating a new farm complicates management and does not leverage the current infrastructure effectively. Option D, while feasible, may not provide the same level of integration and simplicity as using a worker group within the existing setup.
