To support the environment outlined above, a number of Virtual Services need to be defined on the LoadMaster. 1.3 Product Versions and Platforms TestedĪpplies to all virtual and physical platformsĢ Service Configuration 2.1 Configuring LoadMaster for View 6 Each of the View instance VIPs offers services on HTTPS, on port 4172 for PCoIP (UDP and TCP) and on port 8443 for View Blast. On the LoadMaster, the 10.154.11.31 Virtual IP (VIP) address is used to balance the client’s initial HTTPS connection between the two View instances which are represented by the 10.154.11.32/10.154.11.33 VIPs. ![]() Alternative deployment options could have PCoIP bypass the LoadMaster as it is only the initial session establishment (HTTPS) that needs to be load balanced. The LoadMaster is deployed in-line as a proxy for all services including PCoIP. Only the initial (HTTPS) connection needs to be load-balanced as there is a 1:1 mapping between the URL/IP address provided and the security/connection server pair that will service the client session. The client then establishes a connection to the services on the URL/IP address provided in the authentication reply. The initial connection is made over HTTPS and once authenticated, the security server provides the client with connection details (URL for web connections and an IP address for PCoIP). From a LoadMaster point of view, all connections are with the security server. These servers act together and are deployed in 1:1 pairs. 1.1 How VMware Horizon (with View) WorksĪ simple View environment consists of a Security server and a Connection server which authenticate and connect remote users to the virtual desktop/application environment. ![]() ![]() ![]() For clarity, the VMware Horizon (with View) product will be referred to as View throughout this document. This document describes how to balance client traffic in a VMware Horizon (with View) environment using the LoadMaster. VMware Horizon (with View) delivers virtualized remote desktops and applications to remote users using desktop client and browser interfaces.
