Upgrading View Server Components 3
The server components that you must upgrade include View Connection Server, replicated servers, and
security servers. Depending on the optional components you use, you might also need to upgrade
View Composer.
If you spread the upgrade tasks across multiple maintenance windows, you can verify success or discover
issues at each phase of the process. VMware recommends upgrading all server components during the first
maintenance window.
NOTE The Local Mode feature for Horizon Client has been removed, and therefore View Transfer Server
instances are no longer required. In place of the Local Mode feature, VMware recommends using Mirage,
which is included with VMware Horizon 6.0 and later releases. For more information, see the View Release
Notes, available at https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html.
For View patch releases, see Chapter 7, “Applying View Patches,” on page 65.

Upgrading View Composer
During an upgrade, View does not support View Composer provisioning and maintenance operations.
Operations such as provisioning and recomposing linked-clone desktops are not supported during the
transitional period when any View servers are still running the earlier version. You can successfully perform
these operations only when all instances of View Connection Server and View Composer have been
upgraded.
NOTE Before you can use the View Composer 6.2 feature for creating automated farms of linked-clone RDS
hosts, you must upgrade all View components to Horizon 6 version 6.2 or later.
