CAUTION During an upgrade to View 5.1, View does not support View Composer provisioning and
maintenance operations, local mode operations, or View Transfer Server publish operations. Operations such
as provisioning and recomposing linked-clone desktops, checking out or checking in desktops, and publishing
View Composer base images 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, View Composer, and View Transfer Server have been upgraded to View 5.1.
For details about which versions of VMware View are compatible with which versions of vCenter Server and
ESX/ESXi, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix at
