Solar New User Posts: 4 Joined: 02/26/2007	Hello, How can one upgrade from version 3.1 to v3.5 without reinstalling and losing VMs already created? Version 3.5 comes with the administration manager which enables one to upgrade but v3.1 doesn't. Thanks in advance.

The iso image is for our new Single Server product, which actually should be burned to a CD as as bootable image using Roxio/Nero/ISO burner or cdrecorder on Linux. Boot this CD on the managed node (VT or AMD V capable) and you can install the Virtualization Manager and virtual servers on a single box. You will need another machine (laptop,desktop) with a Java enabled browser to run the VirtualizationManager ui.
