Switching to enterprise repository

[Ihor]

Hello.

I've seen this wiki page https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories
But I would like to have a more detailed explanation of the process of switching to an enterprise repository. For example, how does this affect the cluster ? How do I update nodes at the same time or can I do it "one by one" ? What can happen when the cluster has nodes with different subscription repos ? And what exactly should I do after changing the repository ?
I've installed PVE 7.1-11 on OVH Debian 11 according to this wiki https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye
Also, I use a ZFS-mirror if that matters

Thanks in advance.

For example, how does this affect the cluster ?

It does not.

How do I update nodes at the same time or can I do it "one by one" ?

That is not different from the non-subscription or pve-test repositories. Do as you like. A cluster is normally updates one-node-at-a-time, so have best availability and failure isolation if an error occurs.

What can happen when the cluster has nodes with different subscription repos ?

technically: as long as the version, e.g. 7, is the same, the non-subscription packages are more recent and will eventually make their way into the enterprise repo.
licensing: keep in mind that you are not allowed to mix subscription levels - as with any other software there is - as stated in the Proxmox VE Subscription Agreement.

And what exactly should I do after changing the repository ?

Wait. If you change from non-subscription or even pve-test to enterprise, the packages will be more recent than in the enterprise repository and over time, this will change as the packages will be "graduated" from the non-subscription/test to enterprise. So after a few days/weeks you will get newer packages from the enterprise subscription repository.
