I just performed this migration last week. Followed the official Proxmox guide (uses the same basic workflow for several Ceph releases now...) and had no issues at all.

I have done an uprade on a production cluster and face no issue. Proxmox version 8.3.5 when we did the upgrade from reef to squid.

Good luck and all the best. Make sure you have backup and a NAS somewhere for emergency

Post in thread 'SOLVED: PVE update broke my system (because I missed something). GRUB error'

Solved through these steps:
  1. Download the Proxmox VE 8.3.1 IOS and flash it to a USB drive
  2. Connect the USB drive to the USB of the system
  3. Boot the system (mine will boot from a USB drive found without BIOS changes)
  4. The Proxmox installer boots. Select the recovery option in Advanced

  6. Use the shell in the web browser for this PVE to execute the forgotten commands:
    Code: 
    echo 'grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true' | debconf-set-selections -v -uapt install...
