Procedure
1 On all View Connection Server instances except the one chosen to be the new standard
View Connection Server instance, uninstall View Connection Server and the View LDAP instance.
The View LDAP instance is called AD LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS.
2 On the virtual machine that hosts the standard, or master, View Connection Server instance, open a
command prompt and enter the following command to ensure that replication is not disabled.
repadmin /options localhost:389 -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
3 On the virtual machines that are to host the replica View Connection Server instances, run the
View Connection Server installer, select the View Replica Server installation option, and specify the
host name or IP address of the standard View Connection Server instance.
The replicated group of View Connection Server instances is recreated and their View LDAP objects are
consistent.
Upgrade View Security Server
After you upgrade View Connection Server, you can upgrade the security servers that are paired with it.
Prerequisites
n
Determine when to perform this procedure. Choose an available desktop maintenance window. Budget
15 minutes to half an hour for each instance.
n
Verify that you have upgraded View Connection Server. For instructions, see “Upgrade View
Connection Servers in a Replicated Group,” on page 34.
n
Verify that the virtual or physical machine on which the current security server is installed meets the
system requirements.
See “View Connection Server Requirements,” on page 16.
n
Familiarize yourself with the security-related requirements of Horizon View, and verify that these
requirements are met. See “Upgrade Requirements for View Connection Server,” on page 16. You
might need to obtain and install a CA-signed SSL server certificate that includes certificate revocation
information, verify that Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is set to on, and configure any back-
end firewalls to support IPsec.
n
Verify that you have a domain user account with administrative privileges on the hosts that you will
use to run the installer and perform the upgrade.
n
If you have not configured a security server pairing password, use View Administrator 5.2 to do so. The
installation program will prompt you for this password during installation. See the topic called
"Configure a Security Server Pairing Password" in the VMware Horizon View Installation document.
n
If you are upgrading a View 5.1 or later security server, such as for a maintenance release, remove
existing IPsec rules for the security server. See “Prepare to Upgrade or Reinstall a Security Server,” on
page 24.
You do not need to make any changes to the configuration of existing load balancers.
Procedure
1 Run the installer for the Horizon View 5.2 Connection Server.
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.
