Deploying to AWS with Citrix Smart Deploy – no NAT instance was detected

Situation:

During the deployment of a blueprint via Citrix Smart Tools > Smart Deploy we came across the following error when attempting to deploy to our AWS Resource Location

The following problems were detected with your configuration
Please re-configure as no NAT instance was detected in this AWS Resource location

Solution:

The blueprint / Citrix tools don’t seem to (yet) support AWS NAT Gateways. This also certainly wont work with the default VPC. To solve this we spun up a new NAT Instance in our own VPC with the servers in separate private subnets in order for the wizard to proceed / succeed. Also note If you deploy to the public subnet you need to provide an elastic IP address.

Solution: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX132116

Overview of fix

Open the %ProgramFiles(x86)%CitrixSystem MonitoringServerEdgeSightPages folder on the EdgeSight server. Open the web.config file in Notepad

If the web.config file already contains the <appSettings> tag, then you have to insert the <add> tag under the existing <appSettings> tag.

</system.web> </location>

MaxHttpCollectionKeys” value=”50000″ />

</configuration>

5000-10000 typical config – we raised ours to 50000 for teh backlog of info where the agents hadn’t updated in 2-3 days

Resolution:
run the following from an elevated command prompt and the change should be instant
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
