import VM from proxmox 5.1-41 to proxmox 9

[marsalys]

Can I migrate import/export my virtual machines currently running on Proxmox VE 5.1-41 to Proxmox VE 9 without any risk?


What would be the recommended and safest migration method to ensure that the VMs do not crash, fail to boot, or encounter compatibility issues after the migration, and that they continue to operate normally?

Backup & Restore

If that does not work, you need to go into the rabbit hole.

Whatever you do - don't clobber the original VM and its files. Clone it by whatever means work with your particular installation and experiment with the clone until you get it working.

And have you run any System upgrades of the VM before?
