Deploy Ubuntu dedicated VDA through MCS
Instructions
Step 1: Create Ubuntu 16.04 VM on Hypervisor such as VMware vSphere or Citrix XenServer
Step 2: Install Hypervisor tools
Step 3: Install Linux VDA
sudo dpkg -i <PATH>/<Linux VDA deb>
sudo apt-get install -f
Step 4: Set up the runtime environment to complete installation
sudo /opt/Citrix/VDA/sbin/ctxinstall.sh
Step 5: Configure mcs.conf
Change variables in /var/xdl/mcs/mcs.conf. The mcs.conf configuration file contains variables for setting MCS and the Linux VDA. The following are variables you can set as required:
dns: Sets the DNS IP address.
AD_INTEGRATION: Sets Winbind or SSSD (SSSD is not supported on SUSE).
WORKGROUP: Sets the workgroup name (case-sensitive) if it is configured in AD.
For dedicated single session VDA, set VDI_MODE=Y
Step 6: Shutdown VM and take snapshot.
