We’re running an old Proxmox server, v1.9. It’s been a workhorse for years running several VMs flawlessly. It is mostly used for internal purposes so it is not really exposed. Suddenly one of the VMs won’t start. This VM has a large database on it that has been neglected to be backed up to an...

Many thanks to everyone who provided ideas and suggestions! I've got it up and running again and your contributions played an important role. It's really nice to find a supportive community willing to help, even a newbie to proxmox. Next up: upgrade to a more modern version of proxmox!

I can't give it all to you now, but I can give a summary and the 104.conf. It was a hard drive crash. Windows 2003 Server. Two volume groups: pve and pve_2. pve_2 is the relevant group that crashed. It contains a logical volume named data2 which is mapped to lvm_pve2_backup in storage.cfg...

Thank you! I have made good progress to the point now we just have one VM that won't start and all else is working. Your CD-ROM idea seemed promising, but it pointed to a "local" folder that had a matching iso in it (/var/lib/vz/template/iso). It's a Win 2003 iso server (long story why we still...

Thank you! I have made good progress to the point now we just have one VM that won't start and all else is working. Unfortunately, it is a critical one! I'll take your advice about migrating to more modern platforms once we get through this crisis (assuming we can!).

Hi- We run a server with an old version of proxmox ve (2.6.32-7-pve) and have been for a number of years pretty seamlessly. It has 6 VMs running. Unfortunately the guy who maintained/managed it left fairly recently, and can't be reached at the moment. We now have no one with proxmox experience...
