Upgrade failed from pve 6 to 7 due to storage space

[ara]

Hi

I tried to upgrade from 6.4 to 7. I made a huge mistake.
My space local-lvm was exhausted during installation :-(.

I tried https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0#In-place_upgrade

Than my local-lvm runs out of space. I rebooted... Now I'm not able to run vmbr0.
So, no network connectivity anymore.

In this situation. Is there still hope to fix the system or do I need to do a fresh installation?

Any hint kindly appreciated!

Thx ara

Hi,

what kind of errors are you getting when trying to ifup vmbr0?

 

[ara]

# ifup vmbr0
-bash: /usr/sbin/ifup: Permission denied

Ok hm ..., let's get a bit more basic:

Did you free up space on the device, and did you finish the upgrade process?

 

[ara]

during the upgrade it breaks while "apt dist-upgrade"... then I just free up local-lvm (which was 100% full) with "apt clean" which removes all in pipe update packages... now I'm in that sticky situation.
(So, the upgrade process was interrupted)

 

[shrdlicka]

you need to clean up something else then apt packages, can you move some big stuff away temporarily?

 

[ara]

I freed up some disk space on local-lvm but if I reboot there is no way to get back up "vmbr0" again (so no network connectivity anymore).
Looks like something is broken and maybe I just need to completely fresh install everything from scratch again :-(

Upload needed packages from USB.

 

[ara]

"systemctl status networking" is just fine and "ip a s" lists all the interfaces but vmbr0 does not appear ???
How can I make sure vmbr0 was properly started?

 

[ara]

I decided now to do a fresh installation... thx anyway for your input... It was a try

 

[ara]

So, now it works back again... This was only because I used separate disks like swdata / vmdata.
I just installed the latest version and reconfigured the storage.cfg and the pve/nodes config files
and all came back perfectly.

So, for me as a former ESXi enthusiast, it shows me how easy it is to work with proxmox even in such critical cases.

Thx to all replies !!!
