Hello all,

i thought it is a good idea to share my problem in the international thread instead of German, beacause i can reach more people with it. First of all i am sorry if this thread was discussed in other threads, but i couldnt find the same topic which are people talking about.

My problem is, ive done an dist upgrade a few Days ago to my proxmox, from pve 8.4.11 to pve 9.0.3. After the Update procedur i was not able to login to the pve gui but via ssh.

I use to Storages:

NVME SSD 250 GB (Only for Proxmox installation)
Normal SSD 2 TB Samsung (Storage for LXC and VMs)

Long story short, i decided to install Proxmox completely new with an ISO.
I remove the 2 TB SSD to keep my Data and installed the newer version of PVE 9.0.3.

Now, unfortunately i got no backups.
What i own now is just .raw -data from the servers and the .conf-data.

My question is, is it possible to restore all my servers with the available data?

Best Regards
 
Yes.

Oh, you probably also want to know how ;)
General roadmap would be something similar to this:
  • add the storage back in (same name) and verify that it sees the VM disks pvesm list <storagename>
  • copy back one VM config and check if everything works
  • copy back all the others
 
I created a new LXC and changed the name of the raw file in my config. It worked well.
