This will update all the server packages to 3.1, while your Manager instance is still at 3.0. So, now just upgrade it as explained in Updating flexVDI software, and you are done!

At this point, your flexVDI 3.1 platform should be up and running again. However, the old flexVDI Dashboard 3.0 is not compatible with flexVDI Manager 3.1 anymore. Point a modern web browser to the Manager's IP address to access the new web-based Dashboard.

Enjoy your new flexVDI 3.1 platform!!
