Umm... From memory this was a bit of a 'mare to get working last year. IIRC there's a posting on here somewhere with the issues I ran into and their solutions...
Hold on... Searching... searching... Hope the 4G works on the train... searching...
Yeah... Here they are...
I found my issues... Just in case anyone else has similar problems.
if you enable request or response logging on the :443 VS that handles the APM policy, then VMWare View will not work... There's no errors... there's no diags avail. It'll just fail. With Blaast you'll get a grey screen and a disconnection notice. With Horizon View Client it'll just tell you various lies.
The second issue (Hanging of Horizon View) was more problematic. The logs would get to a response from query 9 (No idea what that was BTW), but then hang. Requiring a forced quit (This is on a Mac client). Turns out on my laptop (Mac Pro Retina late 2013 with discrete GPU), unless the GPU is explicitly enabled (I used gfxCardStatus) then Horizon view will just hang. Enabling the CPU ALWAYS (Auto won't cut the mustard) means it now runs...
From Vmware View 5.3 & LTM/APM (Back in July 2014)
The important parts are
- I never got it working using the iApp
- There are several docs and none of them were 100% correct
- It's not all BigIP issues (In fact it would be fair to say very few issues were actually BigIP)... Especially the odd one regarding auto switching between iris pro and discrete gfx on a Retina MacBook pro.
