Upgrade the Manager

When a new version of flexVDI Manager is released, you can update your installation with the flexVDI Config tool. The upgrade process preserves all logical objects created on the platform (guests, policies, storage, etc ...), while repeating the installation process would delete the database leaving the platform as new. However, it is advisable to make a backup of the Manager before proceeding with the upgrade process. To perform an update, follow these steps:

  1. Select Manager in the main menu of flexvdi-config.
  2. Select Upgrade.
  3. Enter the current password for your instance of flexVDI Manager.
  4. Follow the process to download a particular version of flexVDI Manager as described at the beginning of this chapter. Note that flexvdi-config is able to discern if you want to upgrade or downgrade, depending on whether you choose a later or earlier version than the one that is already installed.
