Hello Guys,

I try to upgrade my Proxmox server from 5.4.15 to 6.

To do that, I (try to) follow the following procedure:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0

However I fail...

When I do 'pvecm status', I receive:
Corosync config '/etc/pve/corosync.conf' does not exist - is this node part of a cluster?
Cannot initialize CMAP service

and indeed, /etc/pve/corosync.conf does not exists :-(

I tried, as indicated here (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/c...t-exist-is-this-node-part-of-a-cluster.34055/) 'apt-get -s install --reinstall corosync-pve' but then I get '
--

Could someone give me some good hints regarding this ?

Just in case you need it...

Thank you in advance for your support.
 
Are you using Corosync? Do you have a multiserver Proxmox cluster where this is one host?

Maybe you do not have Corosync and should not install it at all? Just proceed with the upgrade and leave corosync alone.
 
Hello Tapio,

Thank you for your fast answer :-)
I have only one server. How should I proceed without Corosync ? Is there a procedure for that ?

Thank you
 
Hello,

I proceeded...but I am still on Virtual Environment 5.4-15... :-(
What can I do ? How can I proceed ? What should I check ?

Hello Tapio,

I did... all the steps (from 'Actions step-by-step' to 'systemctl start pve-ha-lrm and systemctl start pve-ha-crm')
However, I see that I am still in 5.4-15 :-(

What can I do ? What should I check ? :-(
 
Have you rebooted your proxmox host?
If you have, and pveversion -v still shows old versions, the upgrade has failed. There should have been messages indicating errors if this is the case.
Try doing the upgrade again, carefully following instructions and not install corosync.

I just noticed: If you followed the upgrade instructions up to "systemctl start pve-ha-lrm", you have stopped in the middle of the upgrade. No wonder your host is not upgraded. I have already stated you should ignore the corosync parts since your host is not using corosync. So ignore corosync part of the upgrade and follow the instuctions from beginning to end.

Hello Tapio,

Yes, Proxmox rebooted. No difference.
Yes, pveversion still showing 4.15 version.

I did not see any errors during the upgrade...

Here is what I do:
systemctl stop pve-ha-lrm
systemctl stop pve-ha-crm
apt update
apt list --upgradeable -> Shows nothing to upgrade (because previously upgraded I assume)
apt dist-upgrade
pvecm status ->
-- Corosync config '/etc/pve/corosync.conf' does not exist - is this node part of a cluster?
-- Cannot initialize CMAP service

systemctl start pve-ha-lrm
systemctl start pve-ha-crm

And.. that all I have :-(
Any ideas :-( ?
 
OK.. Now I went a bit further...
I re-run 'apt dist-upgraded...

It downloaded a bunch of files and then...

What should I do :-( ?

Why do you keep doing those commands? They are for corosync upgrade, which you should not do since you are not running corosync.
I begin to suspect you have not followed the upgrade instructions properly.
Do you have backups of your system? Do you have backups of all virtual machines on this Proxmox?

Show what you have in /etc/apt/sources.list and in files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list.

Code: 
You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!

That is explained in the upgrade instructions, in chapter "Upgrade wants to remove package 'proxmox-ve'". Did you really read the instructions from beginning to end?

Hello Tapio,

Here is what I have in my /etc/apt/sources.list:

And in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ I have:

where 'pve-enterprise.list' contains only an commented line and 'pve-install-repo.list' is completely empty.

I just don't see this part (Upgrade wants to remove package 'proxmox-ve'".) in the page I am refering to :-(((

Thank you for your help.
