Currently we use the pve-no-subscription repo, but since we are very happy with Proxmox VE we are planning to buy subscriptions soon. How about the change to pve-enterprise repo? Will packages installed from pve-no-subscription be updated from pve-enterprise (when we remove the pve-no-subscription repo)? And what will happen if we already have installed a packages from pve-no-subscription that is newer then the one on pve-enterprise?
 
As soon as you got your subscription key and added it on the server you may just add the respective repo to the system with an command like:
Code:
echo "deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list

if not already there, see also https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories#Proxmox_VE_Enterprise_Repository

Then just use
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

or the GUI updater, which you prefer.

Regarding the package versions, In your case I would just wait until the package version (or a newer one) gets into the enterprise repo when it catches up, if the package is working for you.
You may seen a warning but nothing more.
You can also downgrade them, but then I recommend to downgrade all packages to the version in the enterprise repo to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. an old libpvecommon package but a new pve-container, or something there-like could cause trouble).

Also don't forget to remove the pve-no-subscription repository when adding the pve-enterprise one ;)
 
hi
Just to follow up on this question. If I recently purchased access to the enterprise repo should I expect any updated packages for v3.4 if I was fully up to date last week on the no-sub repo ?

Also, should I comment out all repos from sources.list eg:


Code:
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib

# security updates
#deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com, NOT recommended for production use
#deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription
 
Latest version of PVE 3.x branche is 3.4-13 in pve-no-subscription and pve-enterprise. So no changes/updates to be expected.

No, you should only comment out pve-no-subscription and enable pve-enterprise. Also the default debian repositories (incl. security!) should be enabled.
