In brief: need informed speculation as to whether a "simple" upgrade of a non-clustered Proxmox server from 1.3 to 1.5 is a straightforward, painless thing or a fiddly operation that will result in big downtime.
We originally installed v1.3 to test if it would suit our need for a VM server, and it does an excellent job. We have only a single production KVM Ubuntu VM serving websites now and are planning more. Before I set up a second physical computer so I can cluster or fail-over, I of course want to be running the latest Proxmox version, which was 1.4 the last time I had time to devote to working on this. Now there's v1.5.
My recollection was that the 1.3-1.4 change involved significant changes in storage methods? I'm simply wondering whether I can go ahead and update/upgrade and not have it break my production KVM-based webserver.
I know this is an extremely broad question. Just trying to get myself away from paralysis and to get this job done. Thanks!
