Citrix Xen Cluster
Overview
A Citrix XenCluster, also known as a Citrix XenServer Cluster, is a group of two or more Citrix XenServer hosts (physical servers) that work together to create a unified and highly available virtualization environment. In a XenCluster, these hosts pool their resources and share virtual machines (VMs) across the cluster, providing increased scalability, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
Prerequisites for Citrix Xen Cluster Integration with Motadata AIOps
Provide the necessary credentials, including the username and password, for Motadata AIOps to connect to the Citrix Xen cluster.
Ensure that port 443 is open on the Citrix Xen cluster for communication.
By meeting these prerequisites, you can integrate Citrix Xen cluster with Motadata AIOps and enable effective monitoring and management of your Citrix Xen cluster.
