2 If View Composer is installed on the same host, restart the View Composer service.
3 Log in to View Administrator and examine the dashboard to verify that the vCenter Server and View
Composer icons are green.
If either of these icons is red and an Invalid Certificate Detected dialog box appears, you must click
Verify and either accept the thumbprint of the untrusted certificate, as described in "What to Do Next,"
or install a valid CA-signed SSL certificate.
For information about replacing the default certificate for vCenter Server, see the VMware vSphere
Examples and Scenarios document.
What to do next
To use a default or self-signed certificate from vCenter Server or View Composer, see “Accept the
Thumbprint of a Default SSL Certificate,” on page 36.
If you use Horizon View Client with Local Mode, see “Upgrade View Transfer Server,” on page 41.
If you have finished upgrading View server components, at your next maintenance window, continue with
the Horizon View upgrade.

If you are also upgrading vSphere components, see Chapter 6, “Upgrade ESX/ESXi Hosts and Their
Virtual Machines,” on page 45.

If you upgrading only Horizon View components, see “Upgrade View Agent,” on page 47.
Upgrade View Transfer Server
The View Transfer Server component was added in View 4.5. View Transfer Server is an optional View
Manager component that supports check in, check out, and replication of desktops that run in local mode.
After you upgrade all replicated View Connection Server instances, you can upgrade View Transfer Server.
NOTE This procedure describes an in-place upgrade. To migrate to a different machine, see “Upgrade to
View Transfer Server 5.2 on a Different Machine,” on page 42.
IMPORTANT If users will be checking out local desktops that use the space-efficient sparse disk format (SE-
Flex), available starting with vSphere 5.1, View Transfer Server must be hosted on a vSphere 5.1 or later
virtual machine (virtual hardware version 9). The SE Sparse disk format allows stale or deleted data within
a guest operating system to be reclaimed with a wipe and shrink process.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that View Connection Server and View Composer have been upgraded. See Chapter 5,
“Upgrading Horizon View Server Components,” on page 25. If only one of these components is
upgraded, end users will not be able to check out Horizon View desktops if the desktops are based on
linked clones.
n
Verify that you have local administrator privileges on the Windows server that you will use to run the
installer and perform the upgrade.
n
Verify that the virtual machine on which the current View Transfer Server instance is installed meets
the system requirements.
See “Installation and Upgrade Requirements for View Transfer Server,” on page 18 and “Supported
Operating Systems for View Transfer Server,” on page 18.
n
If the View Transfer Server instance uses a local file system for its Transfer Server Repository, back up
the Transfer Server Repository directory.
