This section describes the system requirements for the View connection server and the steps for upgrading.

10.3.1 View Connection Server system requirements

The View Connection server acts as a client connection broker and is responsible for authenticating and directing incoming user requests to the appropriate remote desktops and applications. View connection servers (including standard, replica, and secure server installations) have specific hardware, operating system, installation, and support software requirements.

1 supported operating systems for View connection server

You must install the View connection server on a supported Windows server operating system.

Table 10-4 lists the operating systems supported by the View connection server, including standard, replica, and secure server installations.

Span style= "font-family: ' Times New Roman '; font-size:10pt;" >windows Server R2 SP1	64 Bit
Windows Server R2	- bit	Standard Edition, data Center Edition

"description" View 6.2 no longer supports Windows Server R2 with no service Pack, and if you are planning to upgrade a View connection server running in the Windows Server R2 operating system, install the SP1 patch for it.

2 Hardware Requirements

You must install all View connection Server installation types (including standard, replica, and secure server installations) on dedicated physical or virtual machines that meet specific hardware requirements. The hardware requirements for the View connection server are shown in table 10-5.

Table 10-5 Hardware requirements for view connection server

Hardware components	Demand	Suggestions
Span style= "font-family: ' Times New Roman '; font-size:10pt;" >cpu	pentium IV 2.0 GHz 2ghz 4 CPU

Span style= "font-family: ' The song body '; font-size:10pt;" > memory	4GB RAM	at least 50 or more Remote Desktop
Disk space	40GB	60GB

Note the physical or virtual machine that hosts the View connection server must have an IP address that does not change. In the IPV4 environment, configure the static IP address. In a IPV6 environment, the computer automatically obtains IP addresses that do not change.
