Upgrading Horizon 7 from Version 7.3.2 to 7.7.0 in a VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U2 enviroment.

Hello!

I see in the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix that the first version that is compatible without if's and but's is 7.7.0 so we would like to upgrade to 7.7.0

Everything is working quite well at it is with one security server and its linked connection server for external access and a connection server for internal access plus an additional connection server for replication (I think) and a Composer (All windows server 2012 except for the third connection server which is 2016).

We have 10 different pools all linked clones, some Floating some Dedicated, with few workstation per pool (on average less that 10).

How should I proceed? Can I upgrade directly from 7.3.2 to 7.7.0 or do I have to jumping from 7.3.2 to 7.4 to 7.5 to 7.6 to 7.7?

I'm chewing my way through "View Upgrades VMware Horizon 7 7.4.pdf" but I'd like to have your input and advises.

And vCenter 6.7 U2 is a virtual appliance using its own posix database with an embedded Platform Services Controller, just for the sake of completeness.

Best Regards

Peter

You can upgrade from 7.3.2 directly to 7.7 (see VMware Product Interoperability Matrices).

I did this a few weeks ago, and it worked flawlessly. Just make sure that no provisioning occurs while upgrading, i.e. pause the pools during the upgrade of the Composer and the Connection Servers. Although the upgrades may not always explicitly ask for a server reboot, I did this anyway.

What's different in the environment that I've upgraded is, that we are using UAG rather than Security Servers.
