Extending a shared virtual disk into multiple VMs

I leave you this post because a client has asked me to do it on several occasions and so I leave it for you 😉 too If we need to expand a virtual hard drive (Vhd) that is shared across multiple virtual machines, typically for cluster use, we will remember that we have the SCSI controller in Bus Sharing and that the disk is created in Eager Zeroed! We will follow these steps to expand this album.

Using Raspberry Pi as a Supported Thin Client on Citrix with ThinLinX

Of course, we already have in mind that Citrix supports the use of a Raspberry Pi (30€) to use as a thin client; with HDX Ready and being able to optimize the multimedia layer and download its heavy graphics acceleration to the device. In this document we will see how ThinLinX works, an OS that simply transforms a Raspberry Pi into a manageable thinclient, whether for Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop, VMware View, Microsoft RDS…

Raspberry Pi – Spanish Speech Recognition

Well, Well, After a long summer of enjoyment and leisure we are back to the fray!!! In this document we will see how to make a Raspberry Pi listen to us, waiting for us to talk to him and execute the commands we instruct. It's really simple to do, I've been testing more complex alternatives for some time both to install and configure, And this one for me is the best. What you are going to see in this document you will be able to implement in less than 30 minutes! And tell him… “Antonia, put me Telecinco”!

Citrix NetScaler Unified Gateway

Today I want to share with you a document by Oscar Mas, where he is going to show us a functionality of NetScaler systems that can be very useful for publishing access to shared resources, Websites, etc.... What we do is publish something that is on our network and deliver the encrypted information through our NetScaler. We could also publish our XenApp 6.X/7.X through this same access. In this case, what I am going to publish is access to a well-known monitoring system, which is called Zabbix through a NetScaler.

Raspberry Pi – Notifying new emails and calendar appointments

I've been wanting to pass you a couple of scripts that I usually use to make a Raspberry Pi that I have connected to a speaker talk to me for a long time; in this document we will only see how to configure the Pi to talk to us through the speaker and tell us if we have received an email, and if so, it will indicate the sender and the subject of the email; as well as if we have any appointments on the calendar in the next few years. 5 minutes, will remind us of it over the loudspeaker!

Citrix NetScaler integration with SCOM 2012 R2

I leave you a piece of Oscar Mas's document, We hope you are interested! One of the most important things in any system we implement, is the monitoring of said system. Microsoft and Citrix, give us the possibility to monitor our systems, using the System Center Operations Manager tool, better known as SCOM. For those of us who are old in the trade, we will know this tool as MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager).
