It’s been a long time since the launch of Horizon Workspace 2.1, it’s time to upgrade 2.0 to 2.1. I will not deny that the first time the new version of a product made me symptoms of shock. Horizon Workspace is a very complex product, its mastery requires a great portion of time, the same applies to the implementation. The absorption of new technologies must continue. And here from version to version changes are increasing. During migration from 1.8 to 2.0 we lost file management system, and version 2.0 to 2.1 was a complete remodeling environment. This migration path only place a new installation of 2.1 and migrate settings from 2.0! So that’s really all starts from the beginning… I decided that I will not perform the settings migration only set the new version 2.1 and configure everything from the beginning (early upgrade caused a lot of problems). Changes within Horizon Workspace are not so large, and whole configuration can be done in a reasonable time. At the end just swapping Workspace FQDN IP address from the old installation to the new (all desktop clients will connect to the new version and upgrade). Of course this post is not about the upgrade, only about load balancing (new model). As an introduction, please read the previous two posts about balancing traffic to gateway-va and connector-va (this post is a supplement).
