Chapter 2. Initiating the Hypervisor
In this chapter, we will be setting up the hypervisor for our application and desktop delivery via XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6.
Before we start, let's try to understand what can be done with the help of virtualization.
With the help of virtualization, we get the ability to virtualize multiple virtual machines, and at the same time, run on a single physical host. Virtual machines (VMs) running on a host are completely independent from other machines and separated from the host by a software operating system known as hypervisor.
XenApp and XenDesktop have the architecture that is designed to allow the management of a virtual desktop and application hosting server to run on multiple hypervisors. In this module, we will go through step by step on how to configure the hypervisor for application and desktop delivery via XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6.
Once done with this chapter, you will be able to:
- Install the hypervisor
- Install the hypervisor management...
