Proxmox update with Ceph Hammer

[brucexx]

I am preparing to update pve cluster 4.3.71 to the newest firmware but I have a ceph storage (separate cluster) based on Hammer. I see that there are 2 ceph packages updated, are they backward compatible ? does anybody know ? ...or if I update I need to update my ceph cluster to jewel ?

I am planing to update ceph to jewel but not at the same time.

Thank you

They will be CEPH Hammer updates, you need to complete the following when you wish to update to Jewel : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Hammer_to_Jewel

Which involves editing the sources to use jewel instead of hammer, when doing any for of update please make sure you use
apt-get dist-upgrade

I understand , let me by clear, I am not updating to jewel, I just want to update my PVE cluster and I am asking about client packages compatibility with ceph hammer. I am running ceph hummer on a separate cluster and I am not updating yet.

Thank you
