Configuring View Connection Server for the First Time
After you install View Connection Server, you must install a product license, add vCenter Servers and View
Composer services to View. You can also allow ESXi hosts to reclaim disk space on linked-clone virtual
machines and configure ESXi hosts to cache virtual machine disk data.
If you install security servers, they are added to View and appear in View Administrator automatically.
