zpool command is missing.

[Inten]

Hello,
I am testing Proxmox in our "Skunk works LAB". To get Proxmox installed on some hardware that does not support GPT partitions, we installed v3.1 and upgraded v3.4. Everything seems good so far except it looks like we are missing the zpool command.

Is there a way to correct?

find / -name "zpool"
came back with nothing.

Cheers!
Mark

Thanks!

apt-get install zfsutils won't work with enterprise proxmox subscription only. Need to reenable pve-no-subscription.

apt-get install zfsutils won't work with enterprise proxmox subscription only.

Not sure what you want to tell use? All pve repositories contain the same list of packages.

this statement is wrong, the enterprise repo is enough.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1)https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Instal...#Install_a_standard_Debian_Jessie_.28amd64.29

2) buy enterprise subscription, comment in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list pve-no-subscription + apt-get update + apt-get upgrade

3)
apt-get install zfsutils

4) my fix, reenable pve-no-subscription, apt-get update, it works

I guess the following would solve the issue:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks for the tip. I shall try at next OS install.

pve-no-subscription is a bit ahead of pve-enterprise most of the time - if you are running an uptodate no-subscription host, and then replace the no-subscription repository with the enterprise one, you will have to wait a little bit until pve-enterprise has caught up.

Why do I use no subscription in the first place? For zfs custom partitions.

Martin Maurer replied in a ticket to my question : After buying PVE subscription, can I enable during custom install?
Quoting: "If you do not use the ISO, the way is to use the pve-no-subscription packages to get the Proxmox VE system up and running.
After that, you have the tool-set to access the enterprise repo and you can add the key and you should remove the pve-no-subscripton repo in your sources.list.
Now, you can access the packages from the Enterprise repo and as soon as there are updates to your currently installed packages, you will get notified via email."

yes, but installing that way still means that for a few days/weeks, your system is actually newer than what is in pve-enterprise. that is not a problem, but something you need to be aware of. zfsutils is available from pve-enterprise - the apt-get output you posted strongly indicates that you did not enable the enterprise repository (enabling the repository is independent of adding the subscription key!).

if you post the content of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* , as well as the output of "apt-get update", we would be able to confirm.

I am sure I did it the right way ( disable pve-no-subscription and enable enterprise). First after enabling, I got Failed to fetch https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/dists/jessie/pve-enterprise/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError401, but in 15 min everything was ok ( works as designed).

The zfs packages I tried to install only several hourse later, when the enterprise package was right.

I just paste here the config required ( btw, thanks for help)

Can I install in another way, with custom partitions, on top of Debian8, enabling pve enterprise from the begining?

not really (unless you want to manually copy packages from an existing enterprise installation, install them by hand and hope you don't miss anything). like I said, installing on top of Debian via no-subscription is not a problem.
