How to force IMA to use a specified network Interface

Following an article in French found on Doctor Citrix I decided to translate it in English as these settings are not documented as far as I found on the Internet.

The purpose of these settings is to set up a specific NIC for IMA use when You have multi homed XenApp Servers.

 

Registry Values to Set

 

Registry Hive Value Type Data Purpose(s)
HKLM\Software\Citrix\IMA  MultipleNICMySelf            REG_DWORD  1 (1 = This Server has several NICs) Specify if the server has several NICs or not
HKLM\Software\Citrix\IMA  NICToUse  REG_SZ  Mac adress of the desired NIC (example : 00-C0-4F-74-68-E5 ) Specify the NIC to dedicate

 

If one of the previously specified reg values is set on any server you'llo have to set the following reg value to ALL SERVERS within the Farm.

 

Registry Hive Value Type Data Purpose(s)
HKLM\Software\Citrix\IMA  MultipleNICOtherServer  REG_DWORD  1  Specify that IMA will try to communicate with all remote server NICs

Looks nice, but how about provisioned servers ? Can i add all Macadresses of all servers ?

Dear Arjan,

In a provisioning server case you'd have to script the mac address value to add dynamically the mac address of your provisioned server.
