If you use security servers, familiarize yourself with the instructions on running the installer to create a
security server that uses the new security server pairing mechanism. See the VMware View Installation
document for your current version of VMware View.
n
If you do not remember the location of the GPO templates on View Connection Server, see the section
about Group Policy Objects in the VMware View Administration document for your current version of
VMware View. You must copy these templates as part of the upgrade procedure.
You do not need to make any changes to the configuration of existing load balancers.
Procedure
1 On the host of one of the View Connection Server instances in the group, download and run the
installer for the new version of Connection Server.
You do not need to stop any services before performing the upgrade. The installer stops and restarts
services as necessary. In fact, the VMwareVDMDS service must be running in order to upgrade the
View LDAP database.
The installer determines that an older version is already installed and performs an upgrade. The
installer displays fewer installation options than during a fresh installation.
The View LDAP is also upgraded.
2 Verify that the VMware View Connection Server service restarts after the installer wizard closes.
3 Verify that you can log in to View Connection Server, and click About in View Administrator to verify
that the new version is being used.
4 If required, go to View Configuration > Product Licensing and Usage, click Edit License, enter the
View Manager license key, and click OK.
A new license key is required if the upgrade is to a new major release.
5 Verify that you can log in to a View desktop.
6 Repeat the previous steps to upgrade each View Connection Server instance in the group.
IMPORTANT If you do not upgrade all View Connection Server instances in a replicated group, the
health indicators in the View Administrator dashboard might show that one or more instances are in an
error state. This situation arises because different versions supply different kinds of data. The solution
is to upgrade all instances in the replicated group.
7 Use the vdmexport.exe utility to back up the newly upgraded View LDAP database.
If you have multiple instances of View Connection Server in a replicated group, you need only export
the data from one instance.
8 On one of the upgraded View Connection Server instances, copy the GPO templates and load them into
Active Directory.
9 Verify or, if necessary, change the port number used for View Composer.
a Edit the configuration for the vCenter Server instance and make sure that the View Composer port
is set to 18443.
The port number must match the port number specified during the View Composer upgrade.
b Supply the vCenter Server password.
c Select the Enable View Composer check box and click OK.
