I reinstall Proxmox 7.3-3 (to go from LVM to ZFS/Raid1) and restored backed-up VMs and containers.

3 containers and 3 VMs are working just fine. When I attempt to start a 4th VM I get the error:

volume 'local:iso/debian-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso' does not exist

I don't know where that ISO might have been stored nor do I recall how it was connected to the VM.

Here's the config:

root@pve:/etc/pve/qemu-server# qm config 101
agent: 1
boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0
cores: 1
ide2: local:iso/debian-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrom,size=382M
memory: 1024
meta: creation-qemu=7.1.0,ctime=1670976067
name: basicservices
net0: virtio=6E:9C:60:60:EF:CB,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: l26
scsi0: local-zfs:vm-101-disk-0,iothread=1,size=8G
scsihw: virtio-scsi-single
smbios1: uuid=54548f21-8d4c-4792-be41-ce3e6d3cba7d
sockets: 1
vmgenid: 84968d35-1768-40ee-b077-db6a293dbfa3

Thanks!
 
Hum, I might have answered my own question. I deleted the line:

ide2: local:iso/debian-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrom,size=382M

from /etc/pve/qemu-server/101.conf

and the VM appears to be working. Phew.
