VMware View 5.2 with Blast

View 5.2 support Blast, allowing user to connect to View desktop via HTML 5. To enable Blast, you need to follow the following steps.

Setup and configure View 5.2 and provision at least 1 desktop pool with PCOIP. Make sure the infra is ready for Blast installation.
On View server, install VMware-Horizon-View-HTML-Access_X64-<build number>.exe which is currently still in Beta. You can download from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g1mf6rmzja46exn/0d4Lnwg59w.
On the hosted desktop image, install VMware-Blast-<build number>.exe or VMware-Blast-x64-<build number>.exe. You can download from above link as well.
Login into Horizon View Administrator page, create a desktop pool and enable HTML access on the pool settings page. Currently it support all different desktop type.
You can now access the virtual desktop with browser that support HTML5. Just launch any these browsers and type "https://<hostname or IP>>".

Currently, it's still Beta, which mean there is something expected to be not working properly. However, for light weight access, I've tested so far with no problem at all. Good luck!

VMware VRNI 3.5 NTP is working but not healthy

We have experienced this problem where some of the major services not started. You will not be able to connect to the vRNI via web -> https://<ip_address_of_vrni_platform>>. This probably caused by NTP insync. You need to manually start these services. Login with Consoleuser / and default password if not changed before via venter web console. Run services restart and wait for couple minutes (it took me 5-6 mins). Types of Users User name Password Admin UI admin@local Set this password in the Activate License window during installation. SSH User support ark1nc0113ct0r CLI User consoleuser ark1nc0ns0l3 Note It is recommended that the users change the default passwords immediately after the deployment. Procedure 1 Navigate to https://<vRealize Network Insight Platform IP address> . 2 Log in to the product UI with the corresponding user name and password. Troubleshoot NTP - https://kb.vmware.com
