Proxmox VE 6.0 beta released!

Just successfully performed the upgrade from the latest 5.4 version to 6.0.

The only thing that came to my attention during the installation was that grub did not recognize the grub installed on my two S-ATA SSDs, which are running in a zpool mirror and contain the Proxmox installation. After manually selecting those drives once again, the upgrade continued normally and there were no issues during the reboot.

Hardware:
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 (40) @ 2.2 GHz
MB: Supermicro X10DRL-i - BIOS 3.1c
RAM: 8x Samsung M393A4K40BB0-CPB
SSD: 2x Samsung 860 EVO 250GB, 4x Samsung 970 EVO 500GB, 1x Intel Optane 900P 280GB

It simply took me to a screen, that said “Reboot into firmware interface”.

However, when I re-did the installation using ext4 - I was able to boot successfully

Will a UEFI installation be possible in the future?

Please use the debug mode of the installer, at the second prompt check for /sys/firmware/efi directory, if it is not present or empty you are not booted in uefi mode. I'll add a line at the summary screen to show which boot mode the installer is in, it seems that it may help some people to ensure that they have correct the mode selected.

If you're booted into uefi mode and choose ZFS everything should be done automatically.

maybe the name of the network name has changed? check the dmesg output

This seems rather odd (segfaults in core binaries usually makes me think about broken RAM).
Please open a separate thread, since this seems a more involved issue, and provide the following:
* the diff of the shipped udev init-script and the one you have on your system (did you modify it)?
* what is written in the systemd-override-conf for udev ('/etc/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service.d/override.conf')?
* the output of `dmesg`
* the journal since the last boot `journalctl -b`

Thanks!

Thanks for the hints! It turned out i had /etc/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service.d/override.conf configured only containing:

[Service]
ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 15

Removing this file before the upgrade fixed the problem. I didn't expect this small change could potentially lead to a broken system.
Thanks again, now to test PVE6 :)
 
Awesome, super psyched to get this newer version of ZFS upgrade. But before I try on my lone single server, anyone have success upgrading a machine with ZFS on root?

That unfortunately does not work.
I boot via the UEFI option on the installation media, the folder shows and has contents. After DHCP it tells me that the installations is aborted and cannot continue. That's it, no more information given. If i choose the legacy boot option i can install Proxmox just fine, but don't have a UEFI installation. That's what i meant. So ZFS booting from a RAID1 of NVME SSDs = Works. Installing the same in UEFI mode = Does not work.

See attached screenshots.

Strange! Could you switch over to the second tty, normally done by sending "CTRL + ALT + F2" (use F2 to switch back to the original prompt) and check if there are any errors visible about why this happens. Note that sending this combination is best done via the virtual keyboard of the remote viewer, at least if you use Linux as Desktop - as else your local Desktop will switch to TTY2, (and the xserver is normal on TTY7).
 
@Breymja there is a udevd worker getting killed in your screenshot - maybe you could provide censored logs from inside the installer? e.g., dmesg? you should be able to use the shell to dump it somewhere (external media, network share, ...)

Also need to do this on 2 machines, and would prefer to read some success stories first...:oops:

As mentioned in Post #23, I successfully updated my Proxmox machine with ZFS on root.

I'd love to do that, but the shortcut does not work with the LARA from Hetzner. I can neither do it via my keyboard nor via the softkeyboard. Nothing happens.

I attached the dmesg.log, but it's really hard to get that with the slowlyness and english keyboard.

Hetzner support told me that Debian 9 Kernel does not support the NIC in EX62 Servers. For Debian 10 it should work and i have internet, as via that i did transfer the dmesg.log file. Other than that, they also have no idea what the issue could be.
 
For some reason, after Hetzner inserted a USB Stick directly the installation also came up in UEFI mode. (Seems there are timeouts when using virtual media on uefi)

I can now either boot via uefi and efibootmgr works and /sys/firmware/efi is there or i can boot without, then it boots via grub. Is that intended?

Q: Can I install Proxmox VE 6.0 beta on top of Debian Buster?
A: Yes, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Buster

Q: Can I dist-upgrade Proxmox VE 5.4 to 6.0 beta with apt?
A: Please follow the upgrade instructions exactly, as there is a major version bump of corosync (2.x to 3.x)
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0
Click to expand...

I have a single node Debian 9.9 on UEFI boot. No Ceph, no Corosync, boot is on ext4 (mdadm Raid 1) spinning disk. PVE is current.

Upgraded following instructions. startup seems fine. web gui seems fine. guests (KVM & LXC) seem fine, the console comes up.

but no proxmox cmds work (pveeam, pct, qm) work. uname -a shows 5.0.15-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.0.15-1.

The binaries are there, /usr/sbin/pct enter VMID works.

Code: 
echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

is this a sign that there is something else wrong or I just need to adjust PATH, and if so, whats the proper way to update PATH?
