Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).
Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…
Started a system upgrade at 3am…you ok?
I’m always up late (it’s 5:19a), though a good bit more than usual lately. But I did the upgrade because I was anxious, had nothing to do, and there were no users utilizing the machine.
This is awesome, I am going to imediatly get a test cluster set up when I get to work. Snapshots with FC support was the only major thing (appart from Veeam support) holding us back from switching to Proxmox. The HA improvements also sound nice!
Testing in production? Brave move mate. :)
As a person who just installed proxmox for the first time a couple of weeks ago, does this allow me to fix some of my mistakes and convert VMs to LXCs?
You could just start over if you dont have much invested into your current setup.
I’m in too deep. I’m trying this script. Fingers crossed
Depending on the services, you should be able to make a backup and restore without needing to delete the real version until you’re sure everything is working
i don’t think so
As someone who also started proxmox fairly recently, I found that the community has these really cool scripts that you can use to get started. Obviously you’re running bash scripts on your main node for some, so there are risks involved with that but in my experience it’s been great.
