question about updates

[brucexx]

I scheduled adding 3 nodes to a working 3 node cluster on 8.3.0. I see today 4 packages popped up in the updated so the new nodes that will join will be fully updated.

I usually schedule maintenance to do updated with reboots (when kernel is updated) but I am wondering if these packages can be updated with running VMs on the cluster ?

libpve-storage-perl
qemu-server

the other two are PBS client updates. I did testing on my spare PVE system and there was no impact on running VMs but I though I ask just in case.

Thank you

upgrades other than kernel and some specific packages from Debian don't require a reboot to become active. no upgrades should ever affect running guests.
