Proxmox VE 2.2 upgrade to Whezzy

[Alexander Fox]

Hi

in the Future, can I upgrade a Debian Squeeze System to 7 and than running with Proxmox ? . In the older Version 1,9 is not works .

You can upgrade 1.x (Lenny) to 2.x (Squeeze) - see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_1.9_to_2.0

As soon as Debian Wheezy is available, we plan to provide a similar script to upgrade 2.x to 3.x.

When Debian 7 "Wheezy" will be released, will Proxmox provide an new iso made with Debian 7 inside ?

Bescause OpenVZ only support kernel 2.6.32 and Debian 7 provide kernel 3.2, there will be an option to use only KVM and disable automatically container ?

Yes, Proxmox VE 3.x will be based on Wheezy.

Bescause OpenVZ only support kernel 2.6.32 and Debian 7 provide kernel 3.2, there will be an option to use only KVM and disable automatically container ?

We do not use Debian Kernels (since V1.9, we use a RHEL based kernel)

That would be great.

If you don´t want to use containers, just don´t use it. why do want to "disable" it?

Ok for this but by the way, will Debian7 with RHEL's 2.6.32.x will support newer hardware : disk controllers, ethernet controllers and so on ?

It will support same hardware as RHEL.

 

[tom]

Our kernel supports a lot of latest server hardware, we have latest Intel and Broadcom NIC drivers, Adaptec Raid, etc - newer than in base RHEL6.x.

Thanks Dietmar and Tom...we just wanted to know if there are KVM improvments in the newer Kernel Series....

yes, there are countless KVM improvements in any new KVM version and also in the Kernel. (A lot of new kernel features are backported to RHEL. in fact, RHEL6 kernel is the best maintained kernel available).

I understand it's a little way off but do you have any idea of it'll be more user friendly than the 1 > 2 upgrade ?
