Proxmox VE 9.0 BETA released - Some improvements for VPS
We are pleased to announce the first beta release of Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.0 !
The 9.x family is based on the great Debian 13 "Trixie" and comes with :
6.14.8-1 kernel, QEMU 10.0.2, LXC 6.0.4, OpenZFS 2.3.3.
.../...
Here are some of the highlights of the Proxmox VE 9.0 beta version
Ceph Squid 19.2 is the new default and comes with continued support
SDN Fabrics for complex routed networks, enabling advanced use cases like two-layer spine-leaf architectures or a full-mesh Ceph cluster.
Snapshots for thick-provisioned LVM shared storage, e.g., for setups connected over iSCSI or Fibre Channel to a SAN.
ZFS 2.3 with RAID-Z expansion.
Countless GUI and API improvements.
and much more...
Notice QEMU 10
VFIO
Improved support for IGD passthrough on all Intel Gen 11 and 12 devices
Refactored dirty tracking engine to include VFIO state in calc-dirty-rate
Improved error reporting for MMIO region mapping failures
Improved property documentation
Implemented basic PCI PM capability backing
Added multifd support for VFIO migration
Added support for old ATI GPUs (x550)
Deprecated vfio-plaform
Misc fixes
Block devices
The 'virtio-scsi' device has gained true multiqueue support where different queues of a single controller can be processed by different I/O threads (this catches up to the `virtio-blk` support that was added in QEMU 9.0). This can improve scalability in cases where the guest submitted enough I/O to saturate the host CPU running a single I/O thread processing the virtio-scsi requests. Multiple I/O threads can be configured using the new 'iothread-vq-mapping' property.
Add new handshake-max-seconds optional parameter to nbd-server-start QMP command, and counterpart --handshake-limit option to qemu-nbd. This allows fine-tuning the duration allowed for client negotiation during integration testing.
qemu-nbd no longer hangs on exit when run as a daemon (the --fork command-line option) when qemu is built with the simple trace backend.
Graphics
Add new 'apple-gfx-pci' and 'apple-gfx-mmio' devices which use the macOS host's ParavirtualizedGraphics.framework to provide accelerated graphics to macOS guests. 'apple-gfx-pci' is intended for use on x86-64, 'apple-gfx-mmio' replicates the graphics device implemented by the Virtualization.framework from the aarch64 version of macOS.

They need to work on Proxmox Datacenter as well.
Looks cool. Will see when to try it on some servers...
as far as I can tell.
that is more of a pet project more than anything at the moment for them.
Personally. I think they still trying to get more core features out first due to the whole vmware thing.
I'm still not used to 9.0/debain13, some operations are different from before.
Where do i set the Pw, after install on ovh dedi?
Try reinstalling, that sometimes works
And turning the server off and then on
Most certainly more of a project, still in the very early stages of Alpha too. It'll probably be more of a viable product well into the life of PVE9.
I wonder what their release would be of 9 in comparison to Deb 13. From some rumors I heard is that theyre anticipating Trixie in dropping somewhere in the first half of August.
If I don't purchase a subscription, will I not be able to update after upgrading to beta? I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a no-subscription dist for beta.
Paid subscription allow you to use the stable proxmox with support. Free no-subscription use non-stable repository, i use it more than 10 years without big problem. All have updates !
