Migrate View Composer to Another Computer
In
some situations, you might need to migrate a View Composer service to a new Windows Server computer.
For example, you might migrate View Composer and vCenter Server to a new ESXi host or cluster to expand
your View deployment. In addition, View Composer and vCenter Server do not have to be installed on the
same Windows Server computer.
You can migrate View Composer from the vCenter Server computer to a standalone computer or from a
standalone computer to the vCenter Server computer.

Guidelines for Migrating View Composer on page 363
The steps you take to migrate the View Composer service depend on whether you intend to preserve
existing linked-clone desktops.
n
Migrate View Composer with an Existing Database on page 363
When you migrate View Composer to another computer, if you intend to preserve your current linked-
clone desktops, the new View Composer service must continue to use the existing View Composer
database.
n
Migrate View Composer Without Linked-Clone Desktops on page 365
If the current View Composer service does not manage any linked-clone desktops, you can migrate View
Composer to a new computer without migrating the RSA keys to the new computer. The migrated View
Composer service can connect to the original View Composer database, or you can prepare a new
database for View Composer.
n
Prepare a Microsoft .NET Framework for Migrating RSA Keys on page 366
To use an existing View Composer database, you must migrate the RSA key container between
computers. You migrate the RSA key container by using the ASP.NET IIS registration tool provided with
the Microsoft .NET Framework.
n
Migrate the RSA Key Container to the New View Composer Service on page 366
To use an existing View Composer database, you must migrate the RSA key container from the source
computer on which the existing View Composer service resides to the computer on which you want to
install the new View Composer service.
