Description

When configuring a vDisk for private mode, any device booting from that vDisk gets the "No servers available for disk" error. 

For example, when connecting to the Provisioning Services (PVS) console on the first server, the vDisk is listed as private mode. When the console is connected to PVS console on the second server, the error appears when viewing the vDisk.

Environment

Caution! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.

Resolution

Caution! Refer to the Disclaimer at the end of this article before using Registry Editor.

Note: In PVS 7.x the registry key that controls the stream process is now under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess.

  1. Browse to the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess.

  2. Modify or create SkipRIMSForPrivate to appear as DWORD 1.
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ProvisioningServices\StreamProcess
    DWORD: SkipRIMSForPrivate
    Value: 1
    This change needs to be made on all the PVS servers in the farm, after which the stream service should be restarted on PVS servers.

  3. At this point the replication status for the vDisk should only show the PVS servers that locally have the vDisk present on them and not all the PVS servers in the farm.

Issue/Introduction

When configuring a vDisk for private mode, any device booting from that vDisk gets the "No servers available for disk" error.
