If your VMware Identity Manager 19.03 virtual appliance has Internet connectivity, you can upgrade the appliance online.
Procedure
- Log in to the VMware Identity Manager 19.03 virtual appliance as the root user.
- Run the following updatemgr.hzn command.
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn updateinstaller
- Run the following command to check that on online upgrade exists.
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn check
- Run the following command to update the appliance.
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn update
Messages that occur during the upgrade are saved to the update.log file at /opt/vmware/var/log/update.log.
- Enter y to proceed with the upgrade of the Workspace ONE Access service or enter n to exit the upgrade.
The prompt gives you the opportunity to consider the following information about virtual apps.
Important: Citrix, Horizon Connection Server, and ThinApp integrations are not available with the
Workspace ONE Access 20.01
connector.
- To use ThinApp packaged applications, use the VMware Identity Manager connector (Linux) version 2018.8.1.0.
- To use other Virtual Apps, such Horizon desktops and applications or Citrix published resources, use the VMware Identity Manager connector (Windows) version 19.03.
You can proceed with the upgrade if you plan to use virtual apps or not. However, the Workspace ONE Access service 20.01 supports virtual apps while the Workspace ONE Access connector 20.01 does not. Therefore, if you plan to use virtual apps with the Workspace ONE Access service 20.01, you cannot upgrade to the Workspace ONE Access connector 20.01.
- Run the updatemgr.hzn check command again to verify that a newer update does not exist.
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn check
- Check the version of the upgraded appliance.
vamicli version --appliance
The new version is displayed.
- Restart the virtual appliance.
reboot
