Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Configure and Manage — Question 101

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is maintaining a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The engineer recently deployed Citrix App Layering for improved image management with Machine Creation Services (MCS). The infrastructure requires various 32-bit and 64-bit operating system platforms.
Which three considerations does the engineer need to be aware of when creating various OS Layers for the company infrastructure? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Application and Platform Layers are directly tied to the operating system layer on which they were created.
• B. The ELM Repository storage maintains a maximum limit of 10 OS Layers that can be built and maintained on it at any given time.
• C. Before an OS version or layer can be deleted from the Citrix App Layering Management console, it must first NOT be in use by an existing template.
• D. The engineer needs a unique layer for each OS build created.
• E. The engineer does NOT need to create a unique OS Layer for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same OS type.
• F. When preparing the OS Layer, the engineer should NOT include any hypervisor tools or utilities within the OS Layer.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because Application and Platform Layers must match the OS Layer they were created on to function properly. Option C is also correct, as an OS version or layer cannot be deleted if it is still in use, ensuring stability and consistency in the environment. Option D is correct since each OS build requires its own unique layer to accommodate different configurations and settings. Options B, E, and F are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the limitations and requirements of Citrix App Layering.
