Getting difficult to boot

[hiimsinak]

Hello guys,

I'm reinstalling my Proxmox server. But, I get struggle at the first boot.

The problem is arround my both SSD may have the same rpool name ?

I did the Zraid1 install between my both SSD.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

why you install a RaidZ1 with 2 disks.
For RaidZ1 you need min 3 disks.

Hello,

I'm trying to get 2 disks on raid 1. I though the RaidZ1 was the best way to do this.

I'm looking to install the principal part of the Proxmox OS on those SSD. Then I would have 2 more disks for the VM data, vm ISO and Backups.

What should I have to install to do this ?

Raid1 is what you want.
If this error comes again because you have another set of disk what has the same pool name you have to rename the pool.
This can be done with the installer (advanced installation).

 

[hiimsinak]

All right. I'm trying to setting-up the raid1 but this error still up.

I tried to rename the pool from the advanced installation but it doesn't work for me.

There is a possibility to do it through command line ?

Yes.
You have to import like this

#zpool import 

  pool: rpool
     id: 3643025315088118028
  state: UNAVAIL
 status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
 action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
   see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-5E
 config:
    rpool                    UNAVAIL  insufficient replicas
      fast-vm--302--disk--0  UNAVAIL  corrupted data

   pool: rpool
     id: 5515723976424972431
  state: UNAVAIL
 status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
 action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
   see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-5E
 config:
    rpool                      UNAVAIL  insufficient replicas
      mirror-0                 UNAVAIL  insufficient replicas
        fast-vm--102--disk--0  UNAVAIL  corrupted data
        fast-vm--102--disk--2  UNAVAIL  corrupted data

Now you get the ID of the different pools.
Let's assume we like to rename the second rpool and the new pool name vmtank

#zpool import 5515723976424972431 vmtank

Thanks for your answer and for your time Wolfgang.

But I'm still blocked. You can find in attachment the picture I took. I think the problem is something else.

The problem is there is a vdev missing.
Was this a raid10 before?
You can't rename it because the pool is corrupt.

 

[hiimsinak]

All right.

It was a raid10 before. I did it to rename the whole pool disk easily.

What should I do next ? Unplug my other disks and keep trying installing my Raid1 on the both SSD ?

Now it should work without a new installation because you have already installed it but could not boot.
If this does not work you can install again.

 

[hiimsinak]

It doesn't work. After a new Installation, It doesn't work too.

This is what I did :

Boot on the Proxmox usb stick for install the operating system.

When the prompt of the installation appeared, I have selected the Option button
Then, I swap from EXT4 to ZFS(RAID1).
Then, I have selected my both SSD disks and I've put any else disk on -- do not use --

Then I did the entire rest of the install.

Did I do something wrong?

What is the error message or where do the system fail to boot?

Hi,

I've seen only the picture I've sent on the topic. This is very embarassing.
