[THIN] Re: Citrix Load Evaluator / Total Sessions per Server & Application

Look at the seamless flags on that server vs the others. The option to session share on a fully loaded server could be affecting your count, assuming your hardware is identical...

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Load Evaluator / Total Sessions per Server & Application

Hey all,

We've had a small issue for the past year, and I can't seem to find an answer about it.

We started a new 4.5 farm this time last year and have an application that is published & load-managed across 20 servers.

There is a custom load-evaluator is built on these 4 "Assigned Rules": Application User Load, Load Throttling, Memory Usage, Server User Load.

Overall, this load-evaluator appears to be working well for our userload; per server and per application.

Except... One server seems to always have about 10-20% more total sessions then the other 19 servers.

Over thousands of session - the 19 servers will all be within a range of 100 or so total sessions, but this one server will be always at the top of the list for total sessions by several hundred more sessions for any time period.

Theoretically - all of these are equal.

At anytime I run a "qfarm /app" (during average workday) - all of my servers are in the 4500-6000 load range.
In the "Presentation Console" everything is running against this load-evaluator.
Also, We have Citrix Edgesight collecting data, that looks normal other than the total session count.
My performance statistics appear fairly normal at anytime we take a look.
The application is installed identically across the 20 servers.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Troy
