[PVE-User] RBD Storage from 6.1 to 3.4 (or 4.4)

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

ceph client vs server are generally compatible between 2 or 3 releases.

They are no way to make working nautilus or luminous  clients with firefly.
I think minimum is jewel server  for nautilus client.


So best way could be to upgrade your old proxmox cluster first. (from 4->6, this can be done easily without downtime)

I can't afford the long downtime. With my method, the downtime is only to stop the VM on the old cluster and start on the new; the disk image copy in done online. 

But my last migration was from 3.4 to 4.4
