You will be prompted to supply the security server pairing password.
You might be prompted to dismiss a message box notifying you that the Security Server service was
stopped. The installer stops the service in preparation for the upgrade.
2 After the installer wizard is finished, verify that the VMware View Security Server service is started.
3 Log in to View Administrator, select the security server in the Dashboard, and verify that the security
server is now at version 5.2.
4 Verify that you can log in to a View desktop.
5 In View Administrator, go to View Configuration > Servers > Security Servers tab and remove any
duplicate security servers from the list.
The automated security server pairing mechanism can produce duplicate entries in the Security Servers
list if the full system name does not match the name that was assigned when the security server was
originally created.
What to do next
Upgrade the other View server components, such as vCenter Server and View Transfer Server, if you use
any of these components. See Chapter 5, “Upgrading Horizon View Server Components,” on page 25.
If you have finished upgrading View server components, at your next maintenance window, continue with
the Horizon View upgrade.
n
If you are also upgrading vSphere components, see Chapter 6, “Upgrade ESX/ESXi Hosts and Their
Virtual Machines,” on page 45.
n
If you upgrading only Horizon View components, see “Upgrade View Agent,” on page 47.
Upgrade vCenter Server
Perform a vCenter Server upgrade as part of the same maintenance window during which you upgrade
other View server components. Before you upgrade vCenter Server, you must back up some View data.
After the upgrade, if View Composer is running on the same server, you must restart the View Composer
service.
Prerequisites
n
Determine when to perform this procedure. Choose an available desktop maintenance window. For
information about how much time is required, see the VMware vSphere Upgrade Guide.
n
Back up the vCenter Server database and the View Composer database.
n
Back up the View LDAP database from a View Connection Server instance by using the vdmexport.exe
utility.
For instructions, see the VMware Horizon View Administration document. If you have multiple instances
of View Connection Server in a replicated group, you need to export the data from only one instance.
n
Perform the tasks listed in “Preparing for Upgrades That Include vSphere,” on page 21.
n
Verify that the server on which vCenter Server is installed has a CA (certificate authority)-signed SSL
server certificate installed and configured. After you upgrade View Connection Server, if
vCenter Server does not use a CA-signed certificate, the default self-signed certificate is shown as
invalid in View Administrator, and a message indicates that vCenter Server is unavailable.
n
Complete the prerequisites listed in the VMware vSphere Upgrade Guide, using the version of the guide
that corresponds to the version of vSphere that you plan to upgrade to.
Procedure
1 Upgrade vCenter Server as described in the VMware vSphere Upgrade Guide.
