Hi My Friends,

I have proxmox on server with 4GB memory and the VM was running normal,
But after I change the memory to 8GB and start the proxmox, I use ssh to access proxmox and use command : qm start 100, the proxmox show error, like no vm 100 on the proxmox, then I check on the configuration file, /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf but I just found /etc/pve/, there is no file on pve folder but the /var/lib/vz/images/100/ still there and the image too

The Version was pve-manager/3.1-21/93bf03d4 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve)

Any suggestion to start my vm ?
 
Hi,
please update your machine!
 
If I were you, I would create directory /etc/pve/qemu-server/, move the images in a safe place (outside /var/lib/vz/images), then create vm 100 from proxmox GUI trying to set it as much as possible like the old one (except disk size, keep it small). Then copy the saved "virtual disks" of the vm under /var/lib/vz/images/100 and try to run it. If it woks, keep going with the other VMs. Since you probably will have a different mac address, i.e. GNU/Linux will create eth1 instead of eth0, go inside the vm and remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. For Win MV you usually have more troubles if the virtual hardware setup is different, so better keep a copy of the vm "disk" and do more tests.
In any case is strange you lost that directory, hope the system has no other damages or has been compromised by some former mistake.
