[SOLVED] What updates require service (or server?) restarts?

[akulbe]

I just noticed that the package pve-qemu-kvm got upgraded from 8.1.2-6 to 8.1.5-2.

Does this require VM restarts or a server restart to take effect?

I get that kernel upgrades require restarts, but are there any other scenarios where it's needed?

Thanks.

Hi,
in order for the VMs to use the latest installed qemu binaries version, you will either have to migrate the VMs or shutdown/start cycle the VMs. It is however not necessary to reboot the host.

Edit: Of course better to do a shutdown instead of a stop.
