Upgrading from Promox 1.2 to Proxmox 2.0

[hisaltesse]

We still have a couple of servers running Proxmox 1.2.

1. How would you recommend we go about upgrading them to Proxmox 2.0 without breaking anything?

2. would we have to re-install or upgrade?

3. if we export all containers from Proxmox 1.2, would they import fine and work fine directly in Proxmox 2.0?


Thanks for letting me know. The last thing we want is things to break and spending hours troubleshooting.

We release instruction to update for each release (see release announcements).

Thanks Dietmar,

I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether I should do a phased upgrade into multiple versions to get to 2.0 or if I should simply do a single command upgrade?

And in the worst case scenario if I just install a fresh 2.0 can I import without an issue all the VZ containers from 1.2 and they'll work just fine?

There is only PVE 2.0 RC1. We will release upgrade instructions when 2.0 is ready. But that will be from latest 1.9 - we do not test updates from 1.2, so it is maybe easier to reinstall.

Thanks.. do you know approximately when 2.0 will be ready? within a week? Within 2 weeks?
