Hello,

I'm new to Proxmox so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. I have a server that won't start any VMs. The reason seems to be because the data pool is inactive, and it's failing some check during bootup. Presumably this happened after a power outage. This is on a Dell PowerEdge R550 with a PERC H755, and the controller says all the disks are fine.

This appears repeatedly in the System Log:
Nov 19 15:53:26 pve pvestatd[1335]: activating LV 'pve/data' failed: Check of pool pve/data failed (status:1). Manual repair required!

I get a similar output if I try to run lvchange -ay pve/data (probably the same thing the system is doing).

Output of lvs -a and lvscan -a:

inactive '/dev/pve/lvol0_pmspare' [<15.88 GiB] inherit

I also noted that /dev/pve/data does not exist, maybe because it's inactive?

And I see this when the system is booting:

I don't know what has happened to it, or how to do the manual repair it's asking for. Any guidance is appreciated.
