• How to view upgrade 4.6 to 5.2

  Hello

  I want to improve my VMware View VMware view Horizon 5.2 4.6.0 environment.

  My vCenter Server (including View Composer), the connection mode and the Security Server run Windows Server 2003 R2 32 bit.

  Due to the requirements of view OS 5.2 I install new Server 2008 R2 VMs for vCenter, see Security Server and connecting to the server.

  My version of vCenter is 4.0 U4

  I have pools with computers office linked Clone and persistent drives, this is the reason why I want to upgrade instead of creating a new environment and migrate the pools with Golden Master.

  The rest of my upgrade procedure:

  Install new virtual machines View (view CS and SS) 5.2 and connect these server in the environment of 4.6 view.

  The login server must replicate all the information.

  Delete the view 4.6 CS - and SS-server.

  Upgrade to vCenter Server (install Server 2008 R2-> import 4.0 vCenter Server database and database of the composer)

  This procedure is possible?

  If not, what is the best way?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  It is advisable to have all servers in a group replicated to the same version.   That being said I'd install Server 2008 in the group with the 4.6 install, allow replication to occur, remove the old servers, and then you spend the 2008 4.6 install 5.2.    I also assume that you will upgrade composer as part of the upgrade of the view so that you can test the commissioning and then move the databases to the new vCenter 2008?

• Steps to view upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 and 5.0 to 5.1.0.a vCenter

  Hello

  I just inherited a 5.0 view vCenter 5.0 below.

  I need to upgrade to the latest versions.

  What are the right steps?

  Notice of upgrade to 5.1 x

  last upgrade vCenter for 5.1.0.a

  upgrade the Esxi servers

  Or am I better to create a new vCenter with 5.1.0a, link to the view on this subject?

  I too found documentation with too many versions...

  Thank you.

  For the moment, I would say that you do not upgrade unless you REALLY need the functionality that gives to the later version. SSL on View 5.1 is greatly improved, but on the Vshphere side its still a nightmare. If you do not need to upgrade I plan carefully or get help from someone who has done it before (for example, a consulting firm).

  In response to your question, you can go directly to 5.1 a of 5.0 and I build a fresh environment and migrate rather than upgrade. SSL is easier on a new construction on upgrades. (Make sure you have your certificates signed in place before installing)

  My advice

  build an esxi host (ESXi510-201210001 or later version)

  Installation simple installation VCenter. (First check the dimensions of your environment)

  Configure Vcenter

  build remaining ESXi hosts

  Install 1 connection to the server

  Configure the display

  Build remaining connection servers

  Migrate pictures old environment gold

  build pools

  Personally, I've moved a few customers to 5.1 and I always think it's a challenge.

• VMWare View upgrade path

  I am planning an upgrade of the infrastructure VMware View:

  I have:

  VMWare View 4.5

  VCenter Server 4.1

  The upgrades of VMware View pdf I took I could go Virtual Center to 5.0 upgrade view, but looking at the http://http :// www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php , the VMware compatibility matrix, it resembles VCenter 5.0 and 4.5 view are not compatible.

  So, 2 options:

  1 - update VCenter 4.1. Update 1, then switch view to 5.0, then upgfrade VCenter to 5.0.

  2 - Uograde discovered VCenter 4.6, then upgrade to view 5.0, then upgrade to 5.0.

  Do you guys have any comments? Anyone tried an upgrade from VCenter 4.1 and 4.5 of the view?

  Thank you

  According to my upgrade plan guides are given beloww (and, please, tell me if this is wrong):

  1 discovers the connection to the 4.6-> 5 [same upgrade server] Server

  2 discover the composer 2.6 (see 4.6)-> 2.7 (view 5) [same upgrade server]

  3 view Center (and paragraphs as the Update Manager) 4.1 U1-> 5 [same upgrade server]

  4 ESXi 4.1 U1-> 5 [probably vmotion VMs / fresh install]

• View upgrade 4.0 to 4.6 view best practices

  Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my view 4.0 environment to display 4.6 and reflected on the upgrade guide. Should I upgrade my environment vSphere 4.0 environment 4.1 last before tackling the upgrade of my view? If so, what can I say/use to justify the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1? Best performance?  All the links for the upgrade of the display will be greatly appreciated and points awarded!

  Please follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide. They are fairly easy to follow.

  In short:

  1. upgrade the view connection server components

  2 upgrade View Composer

  3. improving the environment vSpehere

  4. upgrade the tools VMware and virtual hardware on all the virtual machines in parent, virtual machine
  models and virtual computers that host server view as the view connection server components
  instances.

  4. upgrade the components view Agent and his Client.

  Document your settings will be a good idea, so that your can recreate the problems them as appropriate.

  In the case of Linked Clone pools, agent on image upgraded Gold and recompose your pool with this picture gold.

  KB 1022140 can be useful for you to move from ESX4.0 to ESX4.1

• View upgrade 4.5 to 4.6

  Hi all, we have seen 4.5 installed and created a few pools through it. Now we rebuild the environment with view 4.6, but the plan is to migrate these pools into the new version. Is it possible to do? or we create new pools?

  In the upgrade document, you have how upgraded agents. You need to upgrade the agent image gold and recompose the pool with this new agent installed in gold image, or you can also upgrade agent in gold image and all workstations too but manually.

• vSphere 6.0 license Standard downgrade then upgrade

  Hi guys,.

  Just a quick I'm not quite clear on if possible.

  Basically, I have two hosts of ESXi, an old box of 5.5 running on vSphere essentials license and a new box of 6.0 running with the standard license for vSphere.  The new server is not yet in production, and is associated with a San (current storage on the 5.5 server is local)

  We have a 4 CPU license for vSphere 6.0 standard, so what I was hoping to do was downgrade 2 CPU of this license to 5.5 and apply it on the 5.5 server, this will enable vMotion and let me live migrate servers of local storage for the new San and across to the new host.  I then tried to shut down the old Server 5.5, rebuild fresh with ESXi 6.0 and then upgrade the number of processors 2 license 6.0 who have been downgraded, back to 6.0.

  Is it possible to do so without incurring a cost?  I see that a downgrade is possible for free, but I'm not 100% clear on the component to upgrade.  Basically, I wanted to do it this way to avoid blackouts, but if it comes to it, then I can plan a failure, just try to scope out right now.

  Thank you.

  I was wrong. I just checked and you can select 'Upgrade quantity'. I learned something new today.

  From the point of view upgrade/downgrade you can make it back as long as you have a valid support contract.

• View 6 does not support the 2012 server as a host for the connection to the server operating system

  If I do some preparation work for a view upgrade 6.0 (from 5.3).  After skimming the documentation on the operating system for connecting servers, I notice that Server 2012 is not supported, but Server R2 2012 is.

  I can get it for the installation of "resolution of compatibility issues" for the installer, but rather, I don't throw a facility "not supported" in the production.

  Does anyone know the reasoning/logic behind this?

  Most clients use the R2 versions, it's the fundamental reason.

  The smaller support matrix, faster than we can make good QA on the targeted OS versions and this means that we can release the software more quickly.

• This Application do not support the requested display protocol - application on the view 6 Horizon Pools

  Hi all

  I am happy to report that I had a positive experience the 5.3 to Horizon view 6 view upgrade last night.  With PCoIP RDS Server connection works like a charm.  However, I get the following error message when you try to access any application that I published in the Admin to view:

  This Application does not support the requested display protocol

  I tried many applications and they all cause the same error.  Any ideas?

  I solved this problem.  Given that I've improved 5,3-6, closed have already been created for me (because I was already using a few RDS servers).  Although I left the default as RDP Protocol, I chose the option allowing users to choose PCoIP or RDP (AFAIK, publishing applications cannot run on PCoIP).  However, it is not enough.  Please make sure that the default protocol is PCoIP.

  To explain further: I have a connection standard RDS users at all as a Server Terminal Server Services, except that they use the view Client and RDP Protocol.  I'm not changing it after the upgrade, so it would not effect all users who have not upgraded to the 3.0 client.  However, I would like to publish some of the applications of this same server, instead of spinning upward another server RDS only for applications.

  In this scenario, the only way to achieve this is to make the default connection protocol PCoIP.  If left like RDP, apparently the application attempts to use RDP as the connection instead of PCoIP Protocol.

• Experience with 5.2 and composer 3.0 upgrade

  I'm planning an upgrade view 5.1.3 to Horizon view 5.2 for two installations of vSphere 5.1 display (5.1, 5.1 ESXi vCenter).

  Looking at the Horizon view 5.2 compatibility upgrade matrix (http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.upgrade.doc/GUID-E9BB81A4-1054-4BBB-A43B-CB60A6EF909E.html) and he says that view composer 3.0 is not supported with Server 5.2 connection.

  In addition, on http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.upgrade.doc/GUID-504805D9-6645-438B-B3C5-F56EF6E38E77.html, it says "during a level, view of the Horizon does not support View Composer provisioning and maintenance, operations in view of publication operations transfer server or local mode. Operations such as the provisioning and recomposition of the linked clone desktops, check or check in desktop computers and publish images of base View Composer does not support during the transition period when all servers view Horizon are still the previous version. You can perform these operations successfully only when all instances of transfer view connection server server and View Composer have been updated"

  On http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.upgrade.doc/GUID-AF61903D-E162-4B30-8102-FEC4D14809C3.html , he said: "during the first maintenance window, will modernize you View Composer. Operations such as the provisioning and recomposition of the linked clone desktops and View Composer base images are not supported until all servers in view of the Horizon are upgrades of editing", then"in your next maintenance window, continue with the upgrade of the view of the Horizon"

  I need to know exactly what that means the performance of Server connection 5.2 with the composer 3.0 temporarily between maintenance windows. I understand this isn't a combination "supported", but it still works?

  Here is my question - I have two separate environments of the view: Prod and Dr. entirely of sets of connection, security servers, vCenter and composer separate servers. However, they share the same composer for each vCenter servers. A composer vCenter Prod server and another composer for Dr. vcenter. The composer & vcenter servers are configured in both environments. This has been working well, but can be confusing during upgrades.

  My plan is to upgrade the environment DR View, which includes the composer DR server that works with DR vcenter. However, the Prod environment will always be the connection to the Server 5.1.3 and you will need to use the 5.2 composer newly improved to DR discovers the provision of environments and maintain the work stations in both environments.

  DR View upgrade will take place all at once, that is, composer, connect to the server, and security servers will go the same day.

  However, the view Prod upgrade will take place almost a week later. We go to the users to connect to desktop computers managed by Prod those managed by DR at halfway through the week (load balancing via Microsoft NLB and incoming connections for use connection of DR of switching servers)

  So what I need to know is: Prod on 5.1.3 will fail to do any operation that composer DR vcenter when DR Composer is 5.2?

  On the other hand, DR 5.2 fails to do any operation that composer vcenter Prod when composer Prod is 3.0 (not yet upgraded)?

  If operations of composer really won't happen at all (fail with errors in its newspaper or something), then I need to rotate a little more servers and install composer on them.

  > So what I need to know is: Prod on 5.1.3 will fail to do any operation that composer DR vcenter when DR Composer is 5.2?

  > Conversely, DR 5.2 fails to do any operation that composer vcenter Prod when composer Prod is 3.0 (not yet upgraded)?

  Yes, on both counts, they need to match so you will have to set up the server instances additional standalone composer or update at the same time as you will not be able to share through mixed versions of the connection view servers.
