Tried to move vms from one proxmox to another but it already had a cluster. I
then used -force to add them as suggested in the forums, it added the node but node was
not running so i tried to move the cluster to the other machine and try that way .

Having done so, it seems to have removed my VMs and mounted drives even though fstab and
mount already shows them mounted.

ALL MY VMs ARE NOW DOWN!
My mounted drives are not showing up in the web interface.
VMs are not showing up in web interface.

Mount says the drives are there, looking in the directory, vm files are all still there.

Please, if anyone can help me get this back up, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mox
 
Hi,
You have erased your vm config and it is not possible to recover them, except you have a backup.
But the disk of the vm are still exists.

If you have no backup one possibility would be to create new vm and then copy the disks.

Thank you, that seems to work.




IN A CLUSTER STUCK
Tried to cluster both boxes, will not work with proxmox 3 and 4 together.

Need to move the VMs from the old proxmox 3 to a new proxmox 4

Now i got the new server stuck on the old one as a non-functioning node.

Setup nfs share on old server prox 3

Share seems to work on linux, but stopped at proxmox.

Will not initialize on prox 3 because stuck cluster.

Will not initialize on prox 4:
mount error: mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified (500)

I need to move the virtual machines from old proxmox to new one, any
suggestions?

It is not possible to combine an old 3.X cluster with a new 4.0 cluster.
You can use backup/restore to move VMs from old proxmox to new one.
