23. Close the handle flush with the rear side of the appliance so that the solid-state drive locks securely into the slot.
Important: The orientation of the solid-state drive is important. Make sure that the Citrix product label is facing up when
you insert the drive.
24. Store the old SSD.
25. Start the NetScaler appliance. It takes approximately 30 minutes for the conversion process to complete. The
conversion process updates the BIOS, installs the XenServer hypervisor and the Service VM operating system, and copies
the NetScaler VPX image to the solid state drive for instance provisioning. When the conversion begins, the LCD screen
on the front panel indicates NSMPX-8200 Booting… or NSMPX-8200 10G Booting… depending on the model of the
appliance. When the conversion is successful, the LCD indicates Citrix NSSDX-8200 or Citrix NSSDX-8200 10G,
depending on the model of the appliance.
Note: The serial number of the appliance remains the same.
26. Keep the console cable attached during the conversion process. Allow the process to continue until the netscaler-sdx
login: prompt appears.
27. When the appliance finishes the conversion process, it no longer has the previously working configuration. Therefore,
you can access the appliance through a Web browser only. Use the default IP address: 192.168.100.1/16. Configure a
computer on network 192.168.0.0 and connect it directly to the management port 0/1 of the appliance by using a cross-
over Ethernet cable, or access the NetScaler SDX appliance through a network hub by using a straight-through Ethernet
cable. Use the default credentials. (Username: nsroot and Password: nsroot).
28. Select the Configuration tab.
29. Verify that the System Resource section displays 8 CPU cores, 4 SSL cores, and 32 GB of total memory for the NetScaler
SDX appliance.
30. Select System node and click the Network Configuration link on the System page to modify the IP address of the
Service VM.
31. In the Modify Network Configuration dialog box, specify the following details:
1. Interface— The interface through which clients connect to the Management Service. Possible values: 0/1, 0/2.
Default: 0/1.
2. XenServer IP Address— The IP address of XenServer hypervisor.
3. Management Service IP Address— The IP address of the Management Service.
4. Netmask— The subnet mask for the subnet in which the SDX appliance is located.
5. Gateway— The default gateway for the network.
6. DNS Server*— T he IP address of the DNS server.
*An optional parameter
32. Click OK.
33. Connect the NetScaler SDX appliance to a switch to access it through the network. Browse to the Management Service
IP address defined in step 31 and log on with the default credentials.
34. For instructions for applying the licenses, see NetScaler SDX Licensing Overview .
Note: After the conversion is complete, the LCD display might display CITRIX/NetScaler SDX. If so, you must switch off
the appliance through the Service VM so that, after you power the appliance back on, it displays Citrix NSSDX-8200 or
Citrix NSSDX-8200 10G. On the Service VM configuration page, in the System section, click the Shut Down Appliance
link. If the green LED light of the power supply, located on the back of the appliance, blinks, the appliance is completely
shut down.
