Upgrade to VE 9
Upgrade your NETLAB+ system to Proxmox VE 9
The latest version of NETLAB+ supports Proxmox VE 9. If your system runs on Proxmox VE 8, two new labs teach the VE 8 to 9 upgrade process, and the Proxmox VE 9: Setup and Management course teaches the new version. Both are available through NDG Online or on your NETLAB+ system.
When you are ready, follow the NETLAB+ guide to upgrading Proxmox VE 8 to 9. Hosts on VE 8.4 upgrade in place, one node at a time, with no reinstall and no need to re-import your NETLAB+ VM.
Before upgrading your Proxmox hosts, keep your NETLAB+ system up to date with the latest version. Current system requirements, install guides, and administrator documentation live on the NETLAB+ documentation site.
Practice the upgrade
Two labs walk through the Proxmox upgrade step by step: one for a single server, one for a cluster. They teach Proxmox skills you can apply when you upgrade your hosts; for NETLAB+ specific steps, follow the NETLAB+ upgrade guide.
- Proxmox VE 8: Setup and Management Lab 16, Upgrading a Proxmox Node to PVE 9: upgrade an individual server from VE 8 to VE 9.
- Proxmox VE 8: Advanced Administration and Optimization Lab 15, Upgrading a Proxmox Cluster to PVE 9: upgrade a VE 8 cluster to VE 9.
The course links above go to NDG Online, with nothing to set up. The same labs are in the VE 8 lab libraries of your NETLAB+ system: update Setup and Management to Release 5 and Advanced Administration and Optimization to Release 3 in the Course Manager to receive them. Lab 16 also needs the updated Client and Server2 VMs; see the Proxmox content release notes.
Learn and teach Proxmox VE 9
The Proxmox VE 9: Setup and Management course is available now on NDG Online: 16 labs and 9 assessments covering installation through clustering and high availability. The same content is available as a lab library for your NETLAB+ system; install it using the Course Manager.
The Proxmox VE 9: Advanced Administration and Optimization course continues from there: VM import from other hypervisors, the Proxmox VE API, OCI containers, and Ceph storage. It is also available as a lab library for your NETLAB+ system.
