Create a Replicated Group After Reverting View Connection Server to a
Snapshot
If an upgrade fails, or if for some other reason, you must revert a virtual machine that hosts View
Connection Server to a snapshot, you must uninstall the other View Connection Server instances in the
group and recreate the replicated group.
If you revert one View Connection Server virtual machine to a snapshot, the View LDAP objects in the
database of that virtual machine are no longer consistent with the View LDAP objects in the databases of the
other replicated instances. After you revert to a snapshot, the following event is logged in the Windows
Event log, in the VMwareVDMDS Event log (Event ID 2103): The Active Directory Lightweight Directory
Services database has been restored using an unsupported restoration procedure. The reverted
virtual machine stops replicating its View LDAP.
If you find it necessary to revert to a snapshot, you must uninstall other View Connection Server instances
and uninstall the View LDAP on those virtual machines and then reinstall replica instances.
Prerequisites
Determine which View Connection Server instance is to be the new standard, or master,
View Connection Server. This Connection Server has the desired View configuration data.
Procedure
1 On all View Connection Server instances except the one chosen to be the new standard
View Connection Server instance, uninstall View Connection Server and the View LDAP instance.
The View LDAP instance is called AD LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS.
2 On the virtual machine that hosts the standard, or master, View Connection Server instance, open a
command prompt and enter the following command to ensure that replication is not disabled.
repadmin /options localhost:389 -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
3 On the virtual machines that are to host the replica View Connection Server instances, run the
View Connection Server installer, select the View Replica Server installation option, and specify the
host name or IP address of the standard View Connection Server instance.
The replicated group of View Connection Server instances is recreated and their View LDAP objects are
consistent.
Upgrading View Security Server
If your deployment uses load balancers to manage multiple security servers, an upgrade of the Connection
Server infrastructure can be performed with zero down time.
NOTE If you would like to use Access Point appliances instead of View security servers, you must upgrade
the View Connection Server instances to version 6.2 or later before installing and configuring the Access
Point appliances to point to the View Connection Server instances, or the load balancer that fronts the
instances. For more information, see Deploying and Configuring Access Point.
Preparing View Security Server for an Upgrade
Before you upgrade security servers, perform these tasks to create backups and record configuration
settings.
n
Verify that the virtual or physical machine on which the current security server is installed meets the
system requirements for the new version.
See “View Connection Server Requirements,” on page 15.
