Hello,
i want to upgrade my VMware View 4.6.0 environment to VMware Horizon View 5.2.
My vCenter Server(Including View Composer), the View Connection and Security Server are running Windows Server 2003 R2 32-Bit.
Because of OS requirements of View 5.2 I have to install new Server 2008 R2 VMs for vCenter, View Security Server and Connection Server.
My vCenter version is 4.0 U4
I have Pools with Linked Clone Desktops and persistent disks, that’s the reason why I want to upgrade instead of creating a new Environment and migrate the Pools with Golden Masters.
My upgrade procedure is following:
Install new VMs for View 5.2 (View CS and SS) and connect these Server to the View 4.6 Environment.
The Connection Server should replicate all Information.
Remove the View 4.6 CS- and SS-Server.
Upgrade vCenter Server (Install Sever 2008 R2 -> Import 4.0 vCenter Server Database and Composer Database)
Is this procedure possible?
If not, what is the best way?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Georg
