Installing VMware View 5 Composer inside vCenter 5
Posted on 27. Oct, 2011 by vTexan in View Install Guide.
Quick recap of what weve done so far. 1st we installed Windows SQL 2008 R2 inside a Windows 2008 R2 server. 2nd we setup the VMware View 5 Database inside that SQL Server 3rd we setup our ODBC connection for View 5 inside the vCenter Server 4th we troubleshooted the View 5 ODBC connection errors The next thing on the list is to install VMware View Composer inside vCenter 5. Composer is the brains of the whole concept around Linked Clones. LinkedClones are simply read/write snapshots of a master or parent desktop image. Andre Liebovici did an awesome blog explaining LinkedClones over on his blog site. You really should check it out. Trust me when I tell you that even if you only plan to run 1 or 2 virtual desktops in your home lab, you really want to get your hands around LinkedClones. Its just too cool not to!! So with that said, lets setup VMware View Composer 2.7.0 which is required to run on the Windows version of vCenter.
1. launch the install:

6th Step Vmware View 5 connection servers installation screenshots are missing. that link points to composer installation Reply vTexan says: November 3, 2011 at 4:12 pm Im not sure where you are talking about. #6 is to pick a folder? Reply Chris says: January 6, 2012 at 6:42 am He is talking about the 6th overall step, not the sixth step on this page. When in View administrator you have to point to the Connection/vCenter servers. Reply 3. Steve says: February 3, 2012 at 8:03 am What if you have a remote server for sql? How do you configure the ODBC to use windows authentication. We are trying to stay away from a sql mixed mode environment. Reply 4. Paulo H says: May 2, 2012 at 6:45 am Steve, You should setup the ODBC connection to your view composer databse before you start this procedure. While you setup your ODBC you can aslo chose your authentication method. Reply 5. Brian Hartstein says: May 10, 2012 at 11:26 am Although you mentioned this above I would highlight the fact that vmcomposer needs to be run on the vCenter Awesome tutorial Reply 6. Kevin Pelt says: August 13, 2012 at 6:06 am @Brian Not in View 5. Composer can run by itself now. Reply 7. Dean Hayes says: August 27, 2012 at 11:08 am Like your stuff, but a question..can more than one instance of composer be installed, say on a separate vcenter, and load-balanced to better utilize resources when the linked clones are re-composing (think computer labs with up to 70 zero clients in each one, people coming and going and almost constant refreshing).
