Xendestkop 7.5's connection to CloudPlatform

Xendestkop 7.5's connection to CloudPlatform

Hi,

 

I have a question regarding the XD7.5's integration with Cloudplatform.

 

Suppose I have an on-premise VDI infrastructure with XD7.5 (including Controller/StoreFront) and Vsphere. All the virtual desktops were deployed using MCS in the site.

 

Now if I installed a CloudPlatform farm, adding the same vsphere hosts into Cloudplatform as the compute resouce. Then, can I create a new host connection with Cloudplatform type, to that Cloudplatform farm?

 

If so, will the existing desktops (independant of Cloudplatform) continued to be accessible  afterwards?

 

The idea is to understand how much effort is required to migrate existing on-premise VDI infrastructure to Cloudplatform, and whether it's worth a complete tear down and rebuild.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Silvester

Hi Silvester,

 

If you take vSphere hosts and add them to CloudPlatform, I believe that CloudPlatform will wipe them out and take full control of them.  You will not be able to retain existing VMs and configurations on them.  Keep in mind as well that MCS works differently on CloudPlatform than directly with hosts.  What you can do though is keep those servers and add some new servers to a new CloudPlatform environment.  Both the new CloudPlatform environment and vSphere environment could be used by XenDesktop 7.5 with respective hosting connections.

 

Regards,

Allen

Thanks Allen.

 

So we will have 2 sets of vspere clusters, one for the existing MCS deployment, one for the CloudPlatform. BTW, can we migration the VMs among these 2 clusters via vmotion? (Assume they have shared data stores, and same netwoking)

You cannot vMotion VMs as CloudPlatform will have no idea what they are as they are not registered in the cloud platform database.
