NFS storage and ESXi 5.5 TCP delayed ack

By default the behavior of ESXi 5.5 is to have TCP delayed_ack  set to 1 

It caused some performance issues related to latency between the ESXi host and our NFS storage.

We need to change the behavior by setting the value to 0 , so that latency issues are solved.
vsish -e set /net/tcpip/instances/defaultTcpipStack/sysctl/_net_inet_tcp_delayed_ack 0


In order too ensure that delayed _ack is disabled across reboots we need to edit /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh and add the following line in there.

vsish -e set /net/tcpip/instances/defaultTcpipStack/sysctl/_net_inet_tcp_delayed_ack 0


Hope this helps.

Citrix XenApp 6.5 Discovery fails Event 3989

Citrix XenApp 6.5 Service account password change caused console discovery to fail and we saw event ID 3989 in System Event logs "Citrix XenApp failed to connect to the Data Store. ODBC error while connecting to the database: 28000 -> [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication." After changing the service account password needed to run the following command on the delivery controllers. DSMAINT CONFIG /user:abc\ABCSVCCitrix /pwd:nP@ssword /dsn:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\mf20.dsn" Restart IMA service You should now be able to run the discovery successfully Hope this helps
