Reading Time: < 1 minuteKindle Fire is a tablet from Amazon, based on Android, that may become a competitor of the Apple iPad (considering also the interesting price). Although this tablet use Android, the recent new View Client for Android wasn’t included in the Amazon Android App Store. This lack as been correct in the last days, and now the new release 1.3 of the View Client, with PCoIP support, is available also for Kindle Fire. An alternative client (not strictly limited to VMware View solution) could also be the new release of Wyse PocketCloud (but actually still lack […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAs written some days ago, VMware announced the new version of the Linux View Client with PCoIP support. Now the binaries are available for the download, actually only for the Ubuntu distribution: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/vmware-view-client There is also an interesting guide on how build a full client based on a live disto: Building an Ubuntu Live CD for VMware View Note that previously there wasn’t a public (and free) version of the Linux View Client with the PCoIP: the OpenSource vmware-view-open-client project still lack of this function (and also other functions, like USB redirection). But this does […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs described in the release notes, one of the new features of View5 is the certificate check from the View Client (similar as the certificate check of the vSphere Client): Updated client certificate checking for View clients – View clients now follow the well-known browser model for handling certificates, displaying errors detected in the certificate presented by View Connection Server, or in the certificate trust chain. Administrators can set the Certificate verification mode group policy to enforce strict certificate checking; if any certificate error occurs, the user cannot connect to View Connection Server. Alternatively, administrators […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the previous post I’ve written about the upgrade of vSphere and View in the vSphere 5 scenario, but there are also other scenario to consider with a View environment. For example, recently a new version of vSphere 4.1 has been released (the Update 2 version) and probably most vSphere 4.1 administrator will apply this set of patches. But what will happen with an existing View infrastructure? Both View 4.6 and 5.0 were released before this patch. We have see the a major upgrade may broke the View functionality, but a minor upgrade? Usually the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs written in the previous post, vSphere 5 is not compatible with the View versions prior the 5.0. So to upgrade a vSphere environment from 4.x to 5.0, that also include a View 4.5 or 4.6 implementation, a good approach is first update View to version 5.0 (that it is compatible with vSphere 4.0 Update 3 and vSphere 4.1 Update 1). The upgrade procedure is well described in the VMware View Upgrade Guide, that include also the “VMware View Component Compatibility Matrix” useful to define the order of the components upgrade: From the previous table […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter the View and vSphere clients for Apple iOS, let’s see some clients for the Android devices: vmwClient: for managment of VMWare infrastructure from Android devices. iVMControl: same of the iOS version see in the previous post. VMware View for Android: this is the official View client from VMware, with full PCoIP, Security Server, Android 3 (Honeycomb) support… See also this review and the demo. Wyse PocketCloud: View client (but not only), does not support the PCoIP protocol.
