Big panic situation, please help and advice needed VM's gone?.

[Betaman]

Dear members,

I have been running proxmox for a little while now but have encountered "caused" a major problem.
I was running a cluster of 2 servers and this afternoon one of the servers went doink on me......
So had to remove it from its cluster as else i got the 500 error not ready.
Finally i mananged to get that done but i kept seeing the "broken" node in the Proxmox GUI.
So i googled a bit and found this solution :

• cp -r /etc/pve/nodes/$NODENAME /tmp
• rm -r /etc/pve/nodes/$NODENAME

I did this and now the worst of things have happened:
All my VM's are gone also?
All the data is still there on Local-LVM in raw images but im not able to restore from the raw image?
I dont have a backup for the most important of the VM which was 300GB.

Is there any way i can restore the VM back ?

Any help advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

You obviously removed your VM configuration. But why don't you simply restore that data (should be still in /tmp/)?
