Hello all,

I've been using pve since 2.x as a free platform and continued doing so. At the moment, I believe I have 3.1 installed:
Code:
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve)
pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4)
pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114
lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4
clvm: 2.02.98-pve4
corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1
openais-pve: 1.1.4-3
libqb0: 0.11.1-2
redhat-cluster-pve: 3.2.0-2
resource-agents-pve: 3.9.2-4
fence-agents-pve: 4.0.0-2
pve-cluster: 3.0-8
qemu-server: 3.1-8
pve-firmware: 1.0-23
libpve-common-perl: 3.0-8
libpve-access-control: 3.0-7
libpve-storage-perl: 3.0-17
pve-libspice-server1: 0.12.4-2
vncterm: 1.1-4
vzctl: 4.0-1pve4
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.1-2
pve-qemu-kvm: 1.4-17
ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1
glusterfs-client: 3.4.1-1

Two questions:
1) In the 2.x times, I used to do (IIRC) just some apt sources tinkering, an apt-get update and an apt-get dist-upgrade. Can I still do something like that, considering I do not have some sort of support license?

2) Are there any issues regarding OpenVZ containers and 3.3? I think I read somewhere that they are not supported...

I would appreciate any info available on the issues mentioned above :)

Hello Tom and thank you for your very fast response!

However, regarding my upgrade question I remained a bit buffled. My sources.list repository is as instructed in the wiki:
Code:
root@pve-1:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

Regarding /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list that file has the enterprise repository with a remark, since I do not have a subscription key:
Code:
# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-enterprise

So, my original question remains: can this installation be upgraded to 3.3 for free and if so how?

Thank you for the clarification regarding OpenVZ btw, so I'll stick with 2.6.x kernels.
