Installation

Procedure
1 Create or edit the locked.properties file in the SSL gateway configuration folder on the View
Connection Server or security server computer.
For example: install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
The properties in the locked.properties file are case sensitive.
2 Add the following lines to the locked.properties file:
frontMappingHttpDisabled.1=5:*:missing
frontMappingHttpDisabled.2=3:/error/*:file:docroot
3 Restart the View Connection Server service or security server service to make your changes take effect.
Enable Remote Access to View Performance Counters on Connection Servers
View performance counters are available locally on a Connection Server but return 0 when accessed from
another computer. To enable remote access to View performance counters on Connection Servers, you must
configure Connection Server's framework port in the registry.
Procedure
1 Start the Windows Registry Editor.
2 Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Node Manager registry key.
3 Add a new String (REG_SZ) value, Management Port.
4 Set the Management Port value to 32111.
Sizing Windows Server Settings to Support Your Deployment
To support a large deployment of remote desktops, you can configure the Windows Server computers on
which you install View Connection Server. On each computer, you can size the Windows page-file.
On Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2 computers, the ephemeral ports, TCB hash table,
and Java Virtual Machine settings are sized by default. These adjustments ensure that the computers have
adequate resources to run correctly with the expected user load.
Sizing Memory for View Connection Server
On a View Connection Server computer, 10GB of memory is required for deployments of 50 or more remote
desktops. A Windows Server computer with at least 10GB of memory is automatically configured to
support approximately 2,000 concurrent tunnel sessions, the maximum number that View Connection
Server can support.
Configure less than 10GB of memory for small, proof-of-concept deployments only. With the required
minimum of 4GB of memory, a configuration can support approximately 500 concurrent tunnel sessions,
which is more than adequate to support small, proof-of-concept deployments.
However, because your deployment might grow larger as more users are added to the environment,
VMware recommends that you always configure at least 10GB of memory. Make an exception only when
you know that the environment will not grow, and memory is not available.
If you install View Connection Server with less than 10GB of memory, View provides memory
recommendations by generating warning messages after the installation is complete. An event triggered
every 12 hours states that the View Connection Server instance is configured with a small amount of
physical memory.
