C. Reinstall the View Agent on the desktop.
D. Take a snapshot of the virtual machine.
Correct Answer: BD
Explanation/Reference:
Upgrade View Agent
The strategy for upgrading View Agent depends on the type of desktop source.
This procedure provides an overview of the tasks you must perform to upgrade View Agent in a variety of virtual machines used as desktop sources. To complete some of these tasks
Procedure:
1 On parent virtual machines and virtual machine templates, download and run the installer for View Agent 5.0. You can download the installer from the VMware Web site. Step-by-step instructions for running the View Agent installer appear in the VMware View Administration document.
2 Take a snapshot of each upgraded parent virtual machine that you use to create linked-clone desktop pools with View Composer. You use the new snapshot for recomposing all the virtual machines in the pool.
For instructions on taking snapshots, see the vSphere Client online help.
3 If you use full-clone desktops or other virtual machines that you added as individual desktops or as part of a manual pool, upgrade View Agent by using whatever third-party tools you usually use for software upgrades.
View desktops that were called individual desktops in View 4.0.x deployments are added to manual pools in View 4.5 and later versions. In the case of individual desktops, the manual pool contains only one desktop.
4 For automated and manual Windows 7 pools that are not linked-clone pools, to use the Windows 7 3D rendering feature available with View 5.0, edit the pool and power the virtual machine desktops off and on.
a Configure the following pool settings:
■ Set the pool to use the PCoIP display protocol.
■ Set Allow users to choose protocol to No.
■ Turn on the Windows 7 3D Rendering feature.
b Power off each virtual machine and power it on again. Restarting a virtual machine, rather than powering off and on, does not cause the setting to take effect.
5 If you use Windows Terminal Servers or physical or blade PCs as desktop sources, download and run the installer for View Agent 5.0 on these physical machines. You can download the installer from the VMware Web site.
6 Use a View Client that has not been upgraded to verify that you can log in to the upgraded View 5.0 desktop sources with your old View Client software.
