Upgrade 6.0 cluster with ceph to 6.1

[fxandrei]

So i have a cluster with ceph, version 6.

I saw in the forum announcement this :
FAQ
Q: Can I dist-upgrade Proxmox VE 6.0 to 6.1 with apt?
A: Yes, just via GUI or via CLI with apt update && apt dist-upgrade

So i should just run this on every node and thats it ?

Im guessing shutdown all the vms, run that on every node, and reboot every node right ?

Hi,
yes that is basically it. But why shutdown the VMs? You can live migrate them to different nodes and upgrade/reboot one node at a time. Also backups are a must have!

Chris,

how can one update from the GUI? I searched but couldn't find anything.

Thank you!

Hi,
updating from the GUI is possible by selecting the Node in the "Server View" and clicking on "Updates" in the menu. But first you will have to make sure the repositories are set up correctly, see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_package_repositories
Also make sure that the repos for Ceph are set up correctly too, if you use it.

Thank you, that works.

I thought there would be a different update button to update releases, since I've always used this button to do the regular incremental updates.

Normally a manual intervention is only necessary for releases with major version increment, e.g. from 5 to 6. Anyways it is always recommended to read the release notes. You can find them here https://forum.proxmox.com/forums/announcements.7/
