Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.0 released!

Please note that the documentation contains a small error.
This document (on the Downloads page)
https://www.proxmox.com/en/download.../documentation/proxmox-ve-admin-guide-for-9-x

FAQ section, question 12 (upgrade to major release), on page 444:
The text "Upgrade from Proxmox VE 8 to 9 has the link (in the PDF) https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8

Fortunately one can easily rewrite the URL https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9

Possible this may affect the HTML help inside the ISO as well.

Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this! I pushed a fix in git, should get fixed with the next pve-docs version bump, after which we can update this PDF.

@t.lamprecht please update 8to9 instructions to clearly indicate to NOT UPGRADE if your are running mellanox/nvidia networking. They do not support debian 13, and you will wind up with a broken system, requiring a fresh install (if running vendor drivers).

Successfully upgraded 14 physical hosts and 5 virtual hosts. :D

One particular host had some custom built drivers for 5G modem and a custom firmware networking smart card, but after recompiling drivers for new kernel, all done.

Impressed with you guys, Proxmox upgrades sure have come a long way, nearly point-n-click.

My testlab hardware across the board from Intel to AMD Epycs is configured with all kinds of customized scripts etc such as mellanox nics with custom drivers, gpu/storage virtual functions/sr-iov, nested virtualisation, nvme sr-iov etc...... was glad the upgrade only cost me a couple cans of cola with some retrosynth tunez in the background.

Holding the flag high for free homelab software, thank you soooo much. :)
