Migrate View Composer to a New Server | Exam 3V0-752
Question
A company is implementing VMware Horizon View 7 solution.
It has created four 500 linked-clone desktop pools to be used by different departments and workers.
The company's VDI administrator noticed that Horizon View Composer is showing in error state on the View Admin Web Console.
During restart of the Composer service, the service failed to start up again.
A decision was made to migrate View Composer to a new server and preserve the linked-clone information.
What three steps are requires for the migration? (Choose three.)

The migration of View Composer to a new server can be achieved by following the steps below:
Install View Connection Server on the new machine: The first step in migrating View Composer to a new server is to install View Connection Server on the new machine. This can be done by downloading the installation media from the VMware website and running the installer. The installer will guide you through the installation process, and you will need to provide the necessary information, such as the license key, administrator credentials, and connection server settings.
Migrate the RSA key container: The next step is to migrate the RSA key container, which contains the private keys used to sign the certificates used by View Composer. To do this, you need to export the RSA key container from the old server and import it into the new server. You can do this using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) by adding the Certificate Snap-in and exporting the key container from the Personal certificate store. Then, you can import the key container into the new server using the same process.
Install the VMware Horizon View Composer service and configure it to point to the existing SQL database: The final step is to install the VMware Horizon View Composer service on the new server and configure it to point to the existing SQL database that contains the linked-clone information. To do this, you need to run the View Composer installer on the new server and choose the "install" option. Then, you need to configure the View Composer settings to point to the existing SQL database by specifying the server name, database name, and credentials. Once this is done, you can start the View Composer service and verify that it is running correctly.
Note that creating a new SQL database (Option B) is not required as the existing SQL database can be used for the migration. Therefore, Option D (Configure Horizon View Composer to point to the existing SQL database) is the correct answer. Option A (Install View Connection Server on the new machine) and Option E (Install the VMware Horizon View Composer service) are also correct steps in the migration process. Option C (Migrate the RSA key container) is also a correct step, as it is necessary to ensure that the new server can communicate securely with other components in the Horizon View environment.
