Description
PVS BIOS target devices created using Citrix Web Studio were not created as expected:
- The identity disk attached to the PVS target was incorrectly configured.
- The write cache disk was not formatted and the target device booted to server-side cache.
Cause
Studio creation of PVS targets was introduced first in Citrix Web Studio 2311 and later, and supports creation of UEFI based machines only.
- BIOS based PVS target device creation is deprecated in all supported PVS versions now, and all future PVS releases.
- As BIOS based booting was deprecated in PVS 2203, BIOS based target device creation issues are not valid for in-depth investigations with Citrix technical support.
- There will be no future updates to BIOS based target device creation.
Resolution
Only UEFI based PVS target device creation is now supported.
- Customers must switch to UEFI based vdisks and target devices.
- Support for all BIOS based target device creation has been deprecated since PVS 2203 release.
- BIOS based target device creation issues are not valid for in-depth investigations with Citrix technical support.
Issue/Introduction
Customers must switch to UEFI based vdisks and target devices and stop using BIOS based vdisks and target devices.
