Hi all,
I'll try to keep this as succinct as possible.
I have recently “inherited” our View environment at my work. I have fairly limited vm experience so bear with me.
We are half way through a View 4.0 -> 4.6 migration, and now one of our overseas sites is due for a total hardware refresh.
The View infrastructure for this overseas site consists on one cluster with 8 esx hosts, all running esx4.0.0. The View version on this cluster is 4.0.
Now the question I have been asked by management is, is it worth upgrading to View 5 during the hardware refresh?
From what I understand, View 5 offers a bevy of performance benefits, and is a logical upgrade. What is involved in upgrading from View 4.0 to View 5. Is it a direct upgrade or do I need to go to 4.6 first?
I’m still getting my head around the admin side of things and have never setup a View implementation from scratch so any help appreciated.
(Yes I am madly googling, but these forums seem very helpful)
Thanks!
