View Composer Server Upgrade

Super6VCA Dec 20, 2018 2:52 PM

We are updating all of our servers to ver 2016 from 2K8 R2 and it time for the view Servers. I have all the Connection Brokers done but no I need to do the Composer Server. Might there be a KB out there to assist with this? The database is on a different SQL server so i was just hoping it was as simple as adding one the new and removing the old but i kind of doubt it. Anyone have any insight to this process? Any help is appreciated. Running Version 7.4. Thanks

Perry

Hi Perry,

Take a look at the instructions at Migrate View Composer to Another Machine in the Horizon 7.7 Upgrade documentation.

Super6VCA your mentioned that you migrate Connection servers from Win2008R2 to Win2016 OS . How you done this?
You just add new Win2016 connection server as Replica and then decommission the old ones servers?
If so, were there no issues? I was told by VMW support that such in-place OS migration is not supported due to possible LDAP schema mismatches.

tsajauka,

That is exactly what was done. Added 2016 servers as a replica then removed the 2008 connection server. Just had to verify that teh replication worked properly
