Determine when to perform this procedure. Choose an available desktop maintenance window. Budget
15 minutes to half an hour for installing the patch version.

Verify that you have a domain user account with administrative privileges on the hosts that you will
use to run the patch installer.
n
If View Composer is installed in a virtual machine, take a snapshot of the virtual machine.
For instructions on taking snapshots, see the vSphere Client online help.
n
Back up the vCenter Server database and the View Composer database.
For instructions on performing a database backup, see the documentation from your database vendor.

For all linked-clone desktop pools, disable provisioning of new virtual machines.
