ICA is the primary reason that people pay for the XenApp suite.
Is there an open source version of XenApp?

really? Is it still that much better than RDP? I can see the management parts being worth the fees, didn't realize that ICA was still that far ahead to the be primary driver for a purchase.

RDP is a crippled version of ICA. That is what it is. They are not two separate technologies competing. Citrix makes it, removes some capabilities and lets MS license it. So it remains, and will remain, ahead.

Yes, ICA is that much better, worth the price if you are doing hundreds of users, especially those with limited bandwidth at the end point. I've seen ICA work over local, and by local I mean terrible can barely load a webpage or place a call, 3G connections with little to no lag.

DRBD is used as the base for HA in many NAS storage systems.
I think "many" should be "majority" BTW.

The difference is that DRBD does not do scale out, you need Starwind for that. But for two node mirrored replication, it's unbeatable. It's the same technology we use for storage clustering on all Linux systems.
Yeah I think we are never going to go over 2 hosts for the Citrix farm. So that will do.
Thx again Scott.Think about separation of your storage and hypervisor nodes. Management can be simplified quite a lot (storage put into "leave and forget" mode).

Yeah, pretty ubiquitous.

Works Perfectly!

installer is no longer working

So it is completing but failing to work after the install? My lab box is down at the moment and I don't have access to work on this until it is back up, but I'll look at that as soon as it is back online, which was supposed to be two days ago so hopefully soon (it is being racked in a colocation facility.)

See this thread where @olivier is already looking into a possible dependency issue with babel-runtime.
-
Also just read this issue over on Github.

I'm confused as to what you're attempting to install to here. Xen Orchestra doesn't get installed to XenServer. It gets installed to a Debian/Ubuntu Virtual Machine running on you XenServer host or pool.
Can you clarify what you're attempting to do?
Edit: Also I don't see any 'ERR' only 'WARN' which should still work. What version of NPM is installed on this host?

@DustinB3403
I meant xenserver7 because that is the hypervisor(xen)
yes i did install on a fresh install of debian jessie 8.4 -

yes i did install on a fresh install of debian jessie 8.4I'm confused even more. XenServer 7 is a distro, not the hypervisor. Xen 4.4 is the hypervisor. You are just doing Xen on Debian? XO will not work with that. XO is for XenServer, not Xen on its own.

Ok xen-orchestra is used to manage xenserver host right or wrong?
thats what am doing. Again this install is on debian 8.4, which was created from a xenserver hostyes xenserver is not the hypervisor, my comment above recognizes that as i mentioned "xen"

Yes, Xen Orchestra manages XenServer.

You are doing XenOrchestra on Debian on top of XenServer? Okay, that makes sense. We thought that you were saying that you installed Xen on Debian.

This has not been tested with Debian. Likely it will work once the known issues have been resolved. But thus far it has only been tested on Ubuntu 15.10. I plan to get it updated for 16.04 once my lab boxes are back online.
