After Windows Updates occur, completed by Infrastructure Team over the weekend when no one is using AppsAnywhere
Complete the above tests, for the Servers that have been updated over the weekend (Recommended by Kevin to minimize and potential service interruption)
Issues may still arise, so in order to confirm that the patch hasn't caused any unseen issues you'll need to
- RDP to vmssah01p
- Navigate to the Cloudpaging Admin portal https://appsanywhere-admin.saultcollege.ca/jukeboxserver/showService.do
- Under System --> Services
- Stop the services of the unpatch servers
- Now Test - Page a few programs on your computer and a lab computer to ensure it is working
NOTE: because these servers are load balanced, we can't be sure which server is being used to page a program, so this is the identified method from AppsAnywhere support for testing banks of servers.
Managing AppsAnywhere Servers using Powershell
This articles will serve as a guide on how to connect to AppsAnywhere Servers using Powershell
PowerShell Commands for Cloudpaging Server administration – AppsAnywhere Support
To support this KB you have to know how to two pieces of information
The -WebServiceKey and -ServerUrl
Finding the -WebServiceKey
Login into https://appsanywhere-admin.saultcollege.ca/jukeboxserver and click on Server>Configuration or go to https://appsanywhere-admin.saultcollege.ca/jukeboxserver/showGlobalConfiguration.do
You will see the option of Token Web Service Key
-ServerUrl is https://vmaaca01p.saultcollege.ca
Completed command: Set-CloudpagingWebService -WebServiceKey 40061099-8379-4640-9892-D162C459144A -ServerUrl https://vmaaca01p.saultcollege.ca
Below is an article that I used to solve an Cloudpaging Player naming issue
Resolved: [Known Defect] Cloudpaging 9.6 displaying the License Policy title in the Player – AppsAnywhere Support
Server Storage
VMAAFS01p
C: drive - 50GBs
E: (Repository) - 599GBs - If available space falls below 4 times the size of the largest file in the Repository, issues will begin to occur.
F: (Working Files) - 599GBs
Before
Now
Only the Infrastructure team has direct access to this server, so in order for us to see the total free space on this server
- RDP to vmssah01p
- Open File Explorer
- Make sure that you have mapped a drive or network location to these locations
- \\vmaafs01p\Repository
- \\vmaafs01p\WorkingFiles
- Click to open one of the locations
- Navigate to the root of the files you want to count
- Select them all
- Right click on the highlighted files and click Properties
Repository Example
WorkingFiles Example
You will now get a count of the files
To figure out how much space is remaining subtract the Total from this count.
