Do not use this procedure to rename a connection or to create a new connection. Those are different operations. Change the address only if the current host machine has a new address; entering an address to a different machine will break the connection's Machine Catalogs.
You cannot change the GPU settings for a connection, because Machine Catalogs accessing this resource must use an appropriate GPU-specific master image. Create a new connection.
- Select Configuration > Hosting in the Studio navigation pane.
- Select the connection and then select Edit Connection in the Actions pane.
- Follow the guidance below for the settings available when you edit a connection.
- When you are finished, click Apply to apply any changes you made and keep the window open, or click OK to apply changes and close the window.
Connection Properties page:
- To change the connection address and credentials, select Edit settings and then enter the new information.
- To specify the high-availability servers for a XenServer connection, select Edit HA servers. Citrix recommends that you select all servers in the pool to allow communication with XenServer if the pool master fails.
