NEW: Deployment Guide for BIG-IP v11 and VMware View 5

I am finding some abiguity in the deployment guide. I had a working View 4.6 with 11.0 and an older iApp, but now I am version View 5 with the latest iApp and I am unable to get this working properly.

 

 

My environment does not have a security server, and I was planning on using the f5 APM as security for the external view.

 

 

It seems maybe that the version 5 View and the latest iApp requires a security server, but I cant tell from the deployment guide. It seems to me I should be able to have a full network connection resource and be able to use a VDI session but get broken barely working PCOIP video, and RDP works fine. The same goes for the View iApp, broken bits of video.

 

 

Using 3900 in DMZ - get logged in through APM, get VPN IP address, connect to connection server, get list of available VDI desktops to connect to, launch one and I see the intial screen, and then pretty much just a few bits and peices of video, like the screen scrapes arent working. Do a netmon trace I see a bunch of packet going to from desktop to client using 4172 and 50002 which seems absolutely correct. I also have this f5 in dmz sending to the internal f5 that has the iApp configured as well and working properly for internal users, but not external. I have tried direct to connection server with the same results as well.

 

 

I have a call in to support but no guidance as to why this isnt working yet. We are suspecting that I need a security server.

 

 

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
