You should still upgrade to PVE8 and PVE9 afterwards since PVE7 won't get any security patches anymore. And somewhere in PVE8 or 9 the network-pinning-tool was introduced to mitigate the issues with changing nic names
Ok, thank you. System (boot) partition is ext4 and I would like to keep it that way. First I need upgrade to final version of 7 - I hope that issue would not be the case here already! Because I'm more affraid about NIC name changes (all NIC's are...
The boot manager is that part of the system which takes care to take over control over the hardware after the BIOS is finished with the initial startup. It launches the Linux kernel and afterwards the rest of ProxmoxVEs operating system. Since...
Thank you guys. I need to find some time and then I will fire upgrade (6 to 7).
I think I use it although I don't understand completely to what you refer? I have a Proxmox on separate SSD drive (ext4) and VM's are on raidz ZFS volume (4 x 2TB...
Its doable but I wonder if you using an old boot method which adds an extra challenge. I know my oldest Proxmox install doesnt use the current supported boot method, and I have to treat it with kids gloves.
Sorry for the confusion, this is what I meant. OP can use the archive repo for updating to Debian bullseye, but the regular repos still have Debian bullseye/bookworm/trixie and PVE7/8/9 so no real need to use the archive?
Where did you get, that they don't got to Buster? They actually I could open following links on the page:
https://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/
https://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/buster-updates/...
PVE7 is based on Debian 11/bullseye, PVE8 on 12/bookworm and PVE9 on 13/trixie.
It seems all 3 repositories you need are still available for both Proxmox and Debian:
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve/dists/...
You will propably need to change the sources.lists to the archive urls at https://www.debian.org/distrib/archive and
https://archive.proxmox.com/debian/
( see also https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories ). Otherwise this should work if...
Unfortunatelly guys, I need to ask again: can I still upgrade my current 6.4 PVE to 7.x or I will break something because it is too old and something vital is missing on the net / repositories? I know it is old, but is constantly have other...
