1Y0-311 Exam - Question 40


Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is designing a Provisioning Services environment based on the following environmental factors:

-A large number of target devices are spread over multiple subnets.

-The subnets include non-Provisioning Services machines that rely on booting over the network

-A security mandate prohibits the use of TFTP.

-The XenDesktop Setup Wizard is used to create the target devices.

Which Provisioning Services boot method is appropriate for the target devices?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Given the scenario, where a large number of target devices are spread over multiple subnets, non-Provisioning Services machines rely on booting over the network, and a security mandate prohibits the use of TFTP, the appropriate Provisioning Services boot method is BDM Disk Partition. This method allows creating and assigning a small BDM hard disk partition that will be attached to the virtual machine as a separate virtual disk. This partition already contains all the necessary PVS drivers and does not require PXE, TFTP, or DHCP options for booting.

As of XenDesktop version 7.x, when using XenDesktop setup wizard we can create and assign a small BDM hard disk partition, which will be attached to the virtual machine as a separate virtual disk. Using this method the above mentioned two-stage approach is no longer needed because partition already contains all the PVS drivers. This way all the information needed will be directly available without the need of PXE,TFTP & DHCP. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX227725
