Virtualizing Citrix

I have recently virtualized a customers entire Citrix environment. It is performing quite well actually. No issues so far. I did follow some of the recommendations here

I did not, however, follow everyones suggestion not to P2V the Citrix servers. I was forced to P2V them and they are running perfectly thus far. The 2 main things that I followed were disabling the memory balloon driver and shared folders within VMware Tools.

The memory balloon driver acts as a program within the VM and will give and take memory based on the host and VM requirements amongst other things. With Citrix, I decided to not enable it.

For information on how the balloon driver and the swap file work, check it here
