Upgrading View 4.5 to 4.6

Michael0216 — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 03:25:23 GMT

Hi All, we have View 4.5 installed and created some pools through it. Now we are rebuilding the environment with View 4.6, but the plan is to migrate those pools into the new version. Is there a way to do that? or we need to create the new pools??

Please follow the steps in Upgrade guide to retain existing pools.

As an elaboration, when you do the upgrade following the documentation, which doesn't really say what will happen to your pools, they do in fact, remain exactly the same and all your settings remain as well.

As a precaution they have you document all your settings, which is a good idea (I took screen shots) so you can easily recreate them but I had no problems.

In document of upgrade you have how upgrade agents. You need upgrade agent in gold image and recompose pool with this new agent installed into gold image, or you too can upgrade agent into gold image, and in all desktops too but manually.
