Virtual Server Instance Properties (Proxies) for Citrix Hypervisor (XenServer)

Use this dialog to add or remove Virtual Server Agent (VSA) proxies for the Citrix Xen client.

Proxies:

  • Add

    Click Add to add proxies to the Xen client. You can add any computer as a proxy if it has the Virtual Server Agent installed. You must add at least one proxy to the client.

  • Remove

    Select a proxy from the list of proxies and click Remove to remove the selected proxies from the virtualization client.

  • virtual_client_orderor virtual_client_order_down

    Select a proxy in the list and click the up arrow virtual_client_order or down arrow virtual_client_order_down to change the order of proxies in the list.

Clients / Client Groups

Displays the list of clients or client groups that are included as proxies in the client.

The first proxy in the list acts as a coordinator. During a backup, the coordinator communicates with the available proxies and distributes the backups for virtual machines across proxies for load balancing. It also distributes required resources (such as streams) among the proxies.

If a client group is added in the list of proxies, the first client in the client group becomes the coordinator.
