proxmox 6 and ceph luminous

[walter.egosson]

Hi guys,
A little bit late but we are planning to upgrade our proxmox cluster from pve5 to pve6.
Giving the official upgrade from 5.x to 6.x and Ceph luminous to nautilus docs. I have a question:
will it be okay if I leave the cluster with ceph luminous after the upgrade to pve6, at least for a while (2 or 3 days), before continuing with ceph upgrade?
cheers!

it's possible, but I don't recommend it. In fact our tooling won't work so you shouldn't do anything regarding Ceph in that time and maybe other side effects turn up e.g. GUI glitches.

We did the upgrade and yes, ceph was inaccessible until we finished to upgrade to proxmox 6. That is one minor issue we faced, but everything ended well.

Another thing we noticed is the fact that ceph systemd services does not work well (at least on our system) so we had to disable them and use /etc/init.d/ceph instead.

PS: We are using proxmox installed on top of Debian
