October 9, 2023
Contributed by:
C 年代

You can provision a single Citrix ADC VPX instance in Azure Resource Manager (ARM) portal in a standalone mode by creating the virtual machine and configuring other resources.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following:

  • A Microsoft Azure user account
  • Access to Microsoft Azure Resource Manager
  • Microsoft Azure SDK
  • Microsoft Azure PowerShell

On theMicrosoft Azure Portalpage, log on to the Azure Resource Manager portal by providing your user name and password.

Note

In ARM portal, clicking an option in one pane opens a new pane to the right. Navigate from one pane to another to configure your device.

年代ummary of configuration steps

  1. Configure a resource group
  2. Configure a network security group
  3. Configure virtual network and its subnets
  4. Configure a storage account
  5. Configure an availability set
  6. Configure a Citrix ADC VPX instance.

Configure a resource group

Create a new resource group that is a container for all your resources. Use the resource group to deploy, manage, and monitor your resources as a group.

  1. ClickNew>Management>Resource group.
  2. In theResource grouppane, enter the following details:
    • Resource group name
    • Resource group location
  3. ClickCreate.

Configure a network security group

Create a network security group (NSG) to assign inbound and outbound rules to control the incoming and outgoing traffic within the virtual network. NSG allows you to define security rules for a single virtual machine and also to define security rules for a virtual network subnet.

  1. ClickNew>Networking>Network security group.
  2. In theCreate network security grouppane, enter the following details, and then clickCreate.
    • Name - type a name for the security group
    • Resource group - select the resource group from the drop-down list

Note

Ensure that you have selected the correct location. The list of resources that appear in the drop-down list is different for different locations.

Configure a virtual network and subnets

Virtual networks in ARM provide a layer of security and isolation to your services. VMs and services that are part of the same virtual network can access each other.

For these steps to create a virtual network and subnets.

1. ClickNew>Networking>Virtual Network.

2. In theVirtual Networkpane, ensure the deployment mode isResource Managerand clickCreate.

3. In theCreate virtual networkpane, enter the following values, and then clickCreate.

  • Name of the virtual network
  • Address space - type the reserved IP address block for the virtual network
  • 子网类型——第一个子网(你的名字ll create the second subnet later in this step)
  • 年代ubnet address range - type the reserved IP address block of the subnet
  • Resource group - select the resource group created earlier from the drop-down list

Configure the second subnet

1. Select the newly created virtual network fromAll resourcespane and in the年代ettingspane, click年代ubnets.

2. Click+Subnetand create the second subnet by entering the following details.

  • Name of the second subnet
  • Address range - type the reserved IP address block of the second subnet
  • Network security group - select the NSG from the drop-down list

3. ClickCreate.

Configure a storage account

The ARM IaaS infrastructure storage includes all services where we can store data in the form of blobs, tables, queues, and files. You can also create applications using these forms of storage data in ARM.

Create a storage account to store all your data.

  1. Click+New>Data + Storage>年代torage account.
  2. In theCreate storage accountpane, enter the following details:
    • Name of the account
    • Deployment mode - make sure to selectResource Manager
    • Account kind - selectGeneral purposefrom the drop-down list
    • Replication - selectLocally redundant storagefrom the drop-down list
    • Resource group - select the newly created resource group from the drop-down list
  3. ClickCreate.

Configure an availability set

An availability set guarantees that at least one VM is kept up and running in case of planned or unplanned maintenance. Two or more VMs under the same ‘availability set’ are placed on different fault domains to achieve redundant services.

  1. Click+New.
  2. Click年代ee allin the MARKETPLACE pane and clickVirtual Machines.
  3. 年代earch for availability set, and then selectAvailability setentity from the list displayed.

4. ClickCreate,and in theCreate availability setpane, enter the following details:

  • Name of the set
  • Resource group - select the newly created resource group from the drop-down list

5. ClickCreate.

Configure a Citrix ADC VPX instance

Create an instance of Citrix ADC VPX in the virtual network. Obtain the Citrix ADC VPX image from the Azure marketplace, and then use the Azure Resource Manager portal to create a Citrix ADC VPX instance.

Before you begin creating the Citrix ADC VPX instance, make sure that you have created a virtual network with required subnets in which the instance will reside. You can create virtual networks during VM provisioning, but without the flexibility to create different subnets. For information about creating virtual networks, seehttp://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/create-virtual-network/.

Optionally, configure DNS server and VPN connectivity that allows a virtual machine to access Internet resources.

Note

Citrix recommends that you create resource group, network security group, virtual network, and other entities before you provision the Citrix ADC VPX VM, so that the network information is available during provisioning.

  1. Click+New>Networking.
  2. Click年代ee Alland in the Networking pane, clickCitrix ADC VPX Bring Your Own License.

As a quick way to find any entity on ARM portal, you can also type the name of the entity in the Azure Marketplace search box and press . Type NetScaler in the search box to find the Citrix NetScaler images.

Note

Ensure to select the latest image. Your Citrix NetScaler image might have the release number in the name.

3. On theCitrix ADC VPX Bring Your Own Licensepage, from the drop-down list, selectResource Managerand clickCreate.

4. In theCreate virtual machinepane, specify the required values in each section to create a virtual machine. ClickOKin each section to save your configuration.

Basic:

  • Name - specify a name for the Citrix ADC VPX instance
  • VM disk type - select SSD (default value) or HDD from the drop-down menu
  • User name and Password - specify a user name and password to access the resources in the resource group that you have created
  • Authentication Type - select SSH Public Key or Password
  • Resource group - select the resource group you have created from the drop-down list

You can create a resource group here, but Citrix recommends that you create a resource group from Resource groups in Azure Resource Manager and then select the group from the drop-down list.

年代ize:

Depending on the VM disk type, SDD or HDD, you selected in Basic settings, the disk sizes are displayed.

  • 年代elect a disk size according to your requirement and click年代elect.

年代ettings:

  • 年代elect the default (Standard) disk type
  • 年代torage account - select the storage account
  • Virtual network - select the virtual network
  • 年代ubnet - set the subnet address
  • Public IP address - select the type of IP address assignment
  • Network security group - select the security group that you have created. Ensure that inbound and outbound rules are configured in the security group.
  • Availability Set - select the availability set from the drop-down box

年代ummary:

The configuration settings are validated and the Summary page displays the result of the validation. If the validation fails, the Summary page displays the reason of the failure. Go back to the particular section and make changes as required. If the validation passes, clickOK.

Buy:

Review the offer details and legal terms on the Purchase page and clickPurchase.

For high availability deployment, create two independent instances of Citrix ADC VPX in the same availability set and in the same resource group to deploy them in active-standby configuration.
