Post-Upgrade Tasks to Enable New
Features in Your View Setup 6
After you finish upgrading the servers, virtual machines, and agent software for desktop and application
pools, you can configure your setup to take advantage of certain new features.
In addition to the tasks described in the topics in this chapter, if applicable, you can use View Administrator
to edit advanced storage options for desktop pools, and change the scope of transparent page sharing. By
default, as a security precaution, memory sharing is not allowed among virtual machines on an ESXi host.
For more information, see the topic called "Modifying Settings in an Existing Desktop Pool" in the View
Administration document.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n
“Change the JMS Message Security Mode to Enhanced,” on page 51
n
“Tasks for Upgrading Desktop Pools to Use Space Reclamation,” on page 52
n
“Upgrade Tasks If You Use VMware Virtual SAN Datastores,” on page 53

“Configure the VMware Horizon Web Portal Page for End Users,” on page 57
Change the JMS Message Security Mode to Enhanced
Enhanced message security mode is a Horizon 6 version 6.1 feature. When you upgrade, the existing setting
used for the previous version is retained. You can use View Administrator to change the setting to
Enhanced.
This topic describes how to use View Administrator to change the message security mode to Enhanced and
monitor the progress of the change on all View components. You can alternatively use the vdmutil
command-line utility to change the mode and monitor progress. See the View Administration document.
NOTE With Horizon 6 version 6.2 and later releases, you can use Access Point appliances instead of View
security servers. Access Point uses a standard HTTP(S) protocol for communication with View Connection
Server. JMS, IPsec, and AJP13 are not used.
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.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have upgraded all View Connection Server instances, security servers, and View desktops to
Horizon 6 version 6.1 or a later release. View components that predate Horizon 6 version 6.1 cannot
communicate with a View Connection Server 6.1 instance that uses Enhanced mode.
