Changes in this update

This update includes the following improvements:

  • The migration script now enables you to migrate your Workload Balancing database from the Workload Balancing virtual appliance 8.0.0 (which was provided with Citrix Hypervisor 8.0 and 8.1) to the Workload Balancing virtual appliance 8.2.1 provided with Citrix Hypervisor 8.2.
For more information about using the migration script, see Get started with Workload Balancing.


This update includes fixes for the following issues:

  • When multiple VMs start at the same time, Workload Balancing recommends balancing the VMs placement on all servers in the pool evenly. However, sometimes Workload Balancing might recommend to put many VMs on the same Citrix Hypervisor server. This issue occurs when Workload Balancing gets late feedback from XAPI about VM placement.
