Failure upgrade from 7 to 8.

[ulRa]

Hello.

I tried to upgrade ProxMox on a node from 7 to 8 but it failed and now I can´t connect via https; only ssh.

The problem was that when upgrading I encountered the message to remove proxmox-ve package.

When I try to install it via command line I get the following message:

root@defenders-of-the-faith:~# apt install proxmox-ve
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

ceph-common : Depends: librbd1 (= 16.2.11+ds-2) but 16.2.14-pve1 is to be installed

Depends: python3-rados (= 16.2.11+ds-2) but it is not going to be installed

Can anyone can help me?

I managed to restore backups for some VMs on other nodes of the cluster, but there are two VMs for which I don't have a recent backup and the disks are on a lvm-thin pool.
In case I cannot bring up the node online again another thing I ask anyone who can help me is how can I mount those disks to a directory and extract the data.

Thanks in advance.
Raúl.

Did you also configure the Ceph repository as mentions in the update guide? Which software repositories are you currently using?

Hi.

Thank you for your reply.

I am not using ceph. My sources.list file is

root@defenders-of-the-faith:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription

And I do not have a file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list with ceph (It was in the previous version).

I am not using ceph.

Me neither but you need to configure a Ceph repository (that matches your no-subscription) anyway to get consistent updates from Proxmox: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_ceph_reef_no_subscription_repository

That solved my problem.

I created the file ceph.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Then I updated repositories and dist-upgrade

After reboot I could install proxmox-ve package and the node is back online and part of the cluster.

Thank you very much for your help.
