Open the Certificates – Local Machine ( certlm.msc) console and install the machine certificate. If you are going to use a load balancer, ensure the load balanced fully qualified domain name is in the Common Name (CN) attribute of the certificate and each Horizon Connection server’s fully qualified domain name is added to the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) attribute of the certificate.
During the installation, if a machine certificate is already installed, it will be used. You should use a Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificate for the computer account and store it in the Personal certificate store before installing VMware Horizon Connection server. When you install VMware Horizon Connection Server, a self-signed certificate will be installed into the Personal certificate store.
Installing VMware Horizon Connection Server Software. No vSAN Storage option with a mix of Win 7, 8 and 10. Storage System is HPE Nimble HF60 with 118 usable HDD and 16TB SSD. VMware vSAN is supported in hot-add and network modes only, but VMware’s VDI licensing inclusion of ESXi is on the condition no other workloads run on the ESXi host, so you’ll be restricted to network backup mode if you’re planning on using these.Īside from this, what is the intended deployment of VMware Horizon? RDS / Win 10? Instant Clones, Linked Clones, Agents? Etc Veeam licensing won’t be the only consideration here though, you’ve not made any mention of what storage you’ll be using so I’d like to highlight one of the go to storage systems for VDI: VMware vSAN. You can then leverage tags to determine what must be backed up. Your Veeam licensing can be done per socket or per instance, I’d recommend per instance due to the amount of redundant data copies within a VMware Horizon environment, you’d be fully featured but it would be cheaper. It would be difficult to have an official support for it as there are so many varied deployments and that will vary dramatically what can be protected. Unlike some other applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Veeam don’t have official “application support” for VMware Horizon.
