CPU Microcode Update

[matthew]

I have some older servers I use for internal testing. What is the process under proxmox to update the microcode without a bios update?

 

[tom]

We generally suggest to install the microcode updated from Debian.

https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/intel-microcode

Do you add non-free too:
/etc/apt/sources.list

Then just do a:
apt-get install intel-microcode

 

[r.jochum]

Yes and reboot.

Will there be any issues running this way indefinitely rather then a bios update?
