      <title>Disable vs shutdown Horizon Connection Server</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi guys&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Been a while since I have done much with Horizon so things are a bit vague or not how I remembered.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I disable a Connection Server I cannot connect to CS but users who are connected to desktop are not impacted as I would expect.&lt;BR /&gt;I was under the impression that when I shutdown a CS it would behave the same and that users are not impacted and their session remains. Is this correct?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However I was doing some testing in development lab after upgrading from 7.7. to 7.9 and it seems that the desktop becomes unresponsive and eventually loses connection when I shutdown CS.&lt;BR /&gt;Not sure if it matters but the connection was made through Load Balancer and I have not verified if behaviour differs when I connect to CS directly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is not how I remember it and it is left me confused. I am pretty sure that in the production environment we regularly reboot the CS for Windows patching and it has no impact.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does the connection server stay in the data path between client and virtual desktop at all times? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, is there a way that a Netscaler LB (or any other one for that matter) can tell whether a CS is in a disabled state? Right now I need to take one of the CS out of the LB group.&lt;BR /&gt;Would be easier if Netscaler could detect it when I put CS in disabled state.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check "Edit Connection Server Settings"&amp;nbsp; in Settings-&amp;gt;Servers-Connection Servers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you use HTTP(s) Secure Tunnel or Secure Gateways - your clients will be disconnected on CS reboot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If not - imho - you can reboot CS without users impact.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks mate,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That seems to be the case. I was using them as secure gateways for some of the protocols. &lt;BR /&gt;If someone has an answer to my load balancer question that would be much appreciated too&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;LB can not tell if your broker is in disable state. It does health check monitoring. Up and down base on if the "GET /broker /xml is reachable. That remains true even when the broker is not active but online. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
