As part of your upgrade, you can migrate Connection Server to a new machine.
Prerequisites
- Upgrade at least one existing Connection Server instance to the latest version. See Upgrade Connection Servers in a Replicated Group. During this upgrade, your existing Horizon LDAP will be upgraded.
- Verify that the new physical or virtual machine meets the system requirements for installing Connection Server. See Supported Operating Systems for Horizon Connection Server and Hardware Requirements for Horizon Connection Server.
- Familiarize yourself with the security-related requirements of VMware Horizon, and verify that these requirements are met. See Upgrade Requirements for Horizon Connection Server.
- Determine when to perform this procedure. Choose an available desktop maintenance window. Budget 15 minutes to half an hour for each instance.
- Verify that you have a domain user account with administrative privileges on the host you will use to run the installer.
- Familiarize yourself with the procedure for installing a replicated instance. See the Horizon Installation document. You install a replicated instance as part of this procedure.
You do not need to make any changes to the configuration of existing load balancers.
