2Configuring Nutanix Storage Pool and ContainersTo use the cluster storage, you must configure a storage pool and containers within the pool. Create onlyone pool consisting of all the disks in the cluster. Within the storage pool, we recommend creatingmultiple containers for a logical distinction between the compute and management storage layers.1.Figure 1To configure the storage pool and containers, log in to the Nutanix Web Console. From theHome drop-down menu, select Storage.Nutanix Web Console2. Click the Create Container link, and then click the plus symbol( ) under the STORAGE POOLsection to create a pool.Figure 26Create Container WizardWyse Datacenter Appliance XC for Citrix XenDesktop

Figure 3Creating Storage Pool3. Provide a name for the pool (for example, SP1) and use all unallocated disk space. Click Save. Onthe Create Container page, to view additional settings, click the Advanced Settings button. Thefollowing are the recommended settings: Replication Factor: 2 Reserved Capacity: 4096 GB (only for the “Compute” container that contains the persistentvirtual desktops) Compression: Disabled Delay: 0 minutes Perf Tier Deduplication: On Capacity Tier Deduplication: On (Post-Process)4. Type a name for the management container such as “ds mgmt”, and then click Save. Click Container to add another container for the compute/RDSH layer. Use the same advanced settings,provide a name (for example, ds compute or ds rdsh), and then click Save. If you are usingdesktops and RDSH on the same cluster, create an additional container for logical separation.Figure 47Adding containerWyse Datacenter Appliance XC for Citrix XenDesktop

Hyper-V Hypervisor and SMB SharesSMB shares are used to store the virtual machine disks and settings files. The cluster name is the “host”portion of the SMB share name. If not created during the Nutanix cluster setup, add a DNS entry for thisname and point it to the cluster IP address. The container names that you created earlier are used as theshare names. The resulting share name will be \\{cluster-name}\{container-name}. For example,\\cluster\ds mgmt.By default, only the cluster hosts have access to the SMB shares. To change this, you must modify theWhitelist on the cluster. At a minimum, the IP address of the System Center VMM host must be added. Ifyou want all management hosts to be able to access, you can specify the network segment as instaed ofsingle IP address.NOTE: The shares must be used only for storing VDI-related components.To modify the Whitelist, go to the Nutanix Web Console, click the configuration wheel symbol in theupper-right corner, and then click Filesystem Whitelists.Figure 5Filesystem Whitelists5. Type the appropriate host IP address or network segment, and then click Add.8Wyse Datacenter Appliance XC for Citrix XenDesktop

3Installing vCenter Server ApplianceThe deployment of desktop pools within VMware View requires that an install of the following VMwarecomponents is completed successfully: VMware vCenter Server Appliance, VMware View and VMwareView Composer as well as an associated SQL server VM. The VMware vCenter VM will be created by usingthe VMware vCenter Server Appliance. The VMware vCenter Server Appliance is a preconfigured Linuxbased virtual machine that is optimized for running vCenter Server and associated services. Go to theVMware website for information about downloading version 5.5.0 and licensing.1. Connect to one of the Nutanix configured ESXi hosts using the VMware vSphere Client.2.
