Citrix PVS server build for XenDesktop
Hello there,
We are planning to replace Citrix Machine Creation services with Citrix Provisioning Services, for XenDesktops - Windows 7 with 3 GB RAM and persistent disk of 20 GB.
Since we are in planning stage of spec'ng the servers, how should we go about:
I am thinkging of:
2 x PVS servers - how to spec this server (disk, Memory and NIC) - steps to build the server.
2 x vdisk images - x32 and x64
How should we plan for DHCP scope for XenDesktops?
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards

Planning for to set-up PVS infrastructure for Windows 7 32 and 64 bit - 500 XenDesktops.
2 x PVS - I understand you meant 200 -500 GB SAN attached storage - we have compellent SAN storage
2 x NICs - 1 x normal network traffic and another for streaming - is this correct
32 Mem - does it depend on size of the WIndows 7 image?
XenDesktop:
1 x 32 bit windows 7 image
1 x 64 bit windows 7 image
Deciding on having persistent disk attached - 20 GB for write cache.
Memory: 3 GB
NIC's: 1 x LAN and 1 x Streaming
Also can you please let me know the steps on"how to create vDIsk image for WIndows7"
Please advise.
