I was working with one of my clients on a VDI project recently , the deployment was done some time back with VMware View 4.6 and vSphere 4.1.
With the release of VMware View 5.1 and vSphere 5.0 my client decided to upgrade his VDI environment from View 4.6 and vSphere 4.1 to View 5.1 and vSphere 5.0 U1. To make the process a little easier and to fullfill the requirement of change management I simply created a mindmap using Mindjet MindManager software. This gave the visibility of steps to the management and also to the people who were suppose to perform the upgrade.
It was critical for the upgrade to go smooth as this was a production environment and any missing step would have caused a disaster. I am attaching the jpeg in this post , if any body is interested in the map itself drop me a note and I will email across.
VMware View 5.1 Upgrade Path
Could you please post a bigger diagram? its not very readable 🙂
Hi Amar,
I have made this 10% bigger, more than this will cause problems to the page layout. You can always right click and save which will be clear.
Thanks,
Do you still have this available? We are just getting ready to upgrade from View 4.6 to 5.11

I haven’t made any new version of this yet. Hope to put something on view 5.1.2.
Very nice! I’m preparing for an identical upgrade – could I get a copy of the full map? Thanks!
Sure will send it across to your email.
Hi,
We are upgrading view to 5,1.1 with vsphere 5.0U2.
Do you happen to have the guide for such upgrading? I will love to cross check with our plans.
Thanks.
I’m very close to doing a 4.6 to 5.1 upgrade as well. Could I also get a full copy of the map?
Thanks!
