I usually like to wait a few minutes to allow for the LDAP database to replicate and synchronize all the nodes correctly. Wait for the server to come back as green in the Horizon Administrator console.
Once the process completes, click Finish. The installer will automatically stop the services and update both Horizon and the LDAP database. I don’t as it is a lab environment that has no internet access. Launch the Horizon 7.11 installer on the Connection Server. This is a best practice.Ĭlick OK at the warning about the disabling of the server. Go to the Connection Servers list and disable the one you are about to upgrade. If the “ Use Blast Secure Gateway for all Blast connections to machines” radio box is checked it means it is. To identify the Connection Servers in Tunnelling mode, Go to Settings > Servers > Connection Server > Edit. LDF files are stored in:Įnsure no user is connected using tunnelling mode on the server. You can do it manually but the Horizon LDAP database is automatically backed up every day by default. Take a snapshot of only one Connection Server. It is always a good idea to take some notes or screenshots of the configuration settings in your Horizon Administrator console should things go sideways (pools, servers, database, global settings…). However, the users that have a session on a Connection Server configured in “Tunnelling mode” will be disconnected so you might want to plan a maintenance window in this case. If you have several Connection Servers in a replicated group you can upgrade them one at a time without causing a service interruption for the user. Security Servers are obsolete and should be replaced with Unified Access Gateways (UAG) appliances. This procedure concerns only connection servers that are not paired with a Security Server. Note that the supported upgrade order specifies that you should upgrade View Composers before the Connection Servers if you still use them. Remember to always check the VMware product interoperability matrix to ensure that the new version is compatible with the other versions installed in your environment (App Volumes, ESXi, vCenter…). Note that the release notes for Horizon Client 5.3.0 were also released at the same time. In this blog, we are going to review the upgrade process and have a look at what’s new. The latest version 7.11 also brings a fair amount of improvements and fixed bugs. Since the release of Horizon 7, VMware has been very reactive in the release cycle of its VDI solution by regularly adding new features and fixing issues.
