[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES manager/proxmox-ve] warn against/prevent using virtual console for major upgrade

[Fabian Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

Quoting from the upgrade notes:

> Perform the actions via console or ssh; preferably via console to avoid
> interrupted ssh connections. Do not carry out the upgrade when connected
> via the virtual console offered by the GUI; as this will get interrupted
> during the upgrade.

But some users still seem to miss this, so let's be more direct.

One part is proxmox-ve patches #1 and #2, just mentioning it up front.

The other two patches (sent as RFC, as I'm not sure this is the best
approach), would make it a hard error when a console started via
API/GUI is detected upon attempting a major upgrade.


All patches are also intended for stable-6. Note that proxmox-ve does
not currently have a stable-6 branch, I used
286285a9a441ad5b1a3c1869373bfbaadbb70bb4 as a base when testing.


proxmox-ve depends on pve-manager for the new behavior to take effect,
but it's not a hard dependency.
