Notes 8.5.1 continuously crashes on W2008x64/Citrix XenApp 5

Is there anybody out there who manage to build up a stable configuration of Notes 8.5.1 with Windows Server 2008 x64 and Citrix XenApp5?

I continuously collect NSDs with the same pattern referring to gdiplus.dll.

Other admins I talked to trying to do the same get the same results so far.

Any other experiences?

Hi,

Can you post the FATAL THREAD section of the NSD files with the few lines under it

Subject: Already done this!

I have already submit a PMR (32326,077,724) and I know that there are others with exactly the same crash pattern.

Now I would like to know if there is somebody, who is able to get this supported environment up and running…

Subject: Notes 8.5.1 on Win 64-Bit/XenApp5 seems to have serious issues…

Still I have no feedback from IBM support about the reported issue.

Other admins who tried to get Notes 8.5.1 up and running with Windows 2008 Server 64-Bit/XenApp5 receive exactly the same results.

Based on these experiences the only conclusion right now is, that this worthwhile environment is not supported.

Subject: Is anyone using 2008 R2?

Citrix does not support 2008 R2. IBM does not support 2008 R2 with 8.5.1.

http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx122601

Subject: Not recommendable

Gary, as much as I heard from the Citrix guys, you have to wait for the support of R2 until summer next year. They seem not to be very happy with Windows Server 2008 right now (shares kernel with Vista!) and look forward to R2, but it will take some time.

If you want to start with Notes 8.5.1 Standard under XenApp, there seems to be no other way than solving the annoying issues with Windows Server 2008.

Subject: NSD example for XenApp crashes

The crash pattern looks like this:

NSD:

If you google about it, you will find some hits about problems of 32 bit Eclipse in 64 bit Windows environments. Maybe the solution can be found in this area.

Subject: Xen 5.0 using 8.5.1 Client Crash

I have exactly the same issue. When I run the Basic client it works, but Standard Client fails. I too am working with IBM support. Will post the fix if I get one. DPH

Subject: development seems to set other priorities

Thank you Keith for forwarding the issue to development.

They seem to have other priorities than fixing the support of Citrix XenApp 5 x64. I can’t see any progress in this topic. Others willing to use the “Standard” client report the same.

Maybe we just have to stuck with the “Basic” client. Maybe just a bigger customer has to moan about missing Citrix support…

Subject: Notes-on-Citrix x64 issues solved!

The following fix from Microsoft will solve the annoying crashes:
