In my small cluster, I have a Proxmox server with an active subscription of this type:
Proxmox VE Community Subscription 2 CPUs/year
Today I will be doing a major hardware upgrade where I will be adding 4 additional hard drives to this server's RAID 10 controller (making 8 total).
From my reading, there are two ways to achieve this hardware upgrade and both ways require re-installation of Proxmox:
1) Remove_a_cluster_node
2) Re-installing_a_cluster_node
Method 1 seems like it would require me to register my subscription key again (for the 2nd time). However, each subscription seems to be associated with a unique server ID (which can be found when you go to the subscription tab of a server node, in the web interface). Upon reinstallation, will my server ID change? And, if so, will this cause any issues while attempting to reapply my existing active subscription key?
Method 2 seems like it would NOT require registering my subscription key again. Is my assumption correct?
Additonally, any advice regarding your preference (between the two methods above) (with or without regard to subscription keys) would be highly appreciated, as I intend to do this today (after the new hard drives arrive).
