Test Environment for Citrix

[steinooo]

Hi all,

I'm curious if any of you who run Citrix environments in your enterprises have a test environment which mirrors it, and how that is comprised? I'm particularly wondering about how this works in a virtualised environment.

I guess there are a few options for getting a test Citrix server to the same level as live, you have a backup/restore using client software, or maybe a clone of the live VM, then renamed to a test name then powered on, or maybe there are some clever VM tools to accomplish this.

So - how does your Citrix test environment work folks!?

I have a clone of my complete network on my vsphere server with a seperate virtual network going out to a adsl line.

Not great but we have a simple enviorment so its not hard to restore another backup or clone the vm.

That's interesting, are they on the same host?

I don't have the luxury of doing what you're doing as I don't have vSphere acess to my environment (outsourced datacentre)

You have a nice option there, easy to test anything!
