can proxmox 8 version work on E5-2643 V2

[Ting]

Hi,

Currently I am running Proxmox 7 on 5 node cluster, I have E5-2643 V2 for cpus, wondering can I safely upgrade to proxmox 8 on my machines?

I am thinking to upgrade my machines in 3 years (will have E5 V3 cpus), do you think I can keep my old cpus for at least 3 years?

Thanks.

pve 8.2.5 works fine on even the older generation E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz (which is "V1" before "V2"), kernel 6.8.12-2-pve.
Cannot say for the furture when the pve and kernel doesn't support E5-* "V2" generation anymore but then you could stay with that last kernel supported a while further also.
