Hi!
We are still on Proxmox version 8.4 and in preparation for the upgrade to version 9 I checked the pve8to9 script.
One warning says:
WARN: VMs with the following IDs have an old machine version configured. The machine version might need to be updated to be able to start the VM in Proxmox VE 9
We have 2 VMs still running a machine version 5.1, Default (i440fx).
The NICs are set up as VirtIO devices, also the hard disks are VirtIO SCSI devices.
The OS of these VMs are both Windows Server 2022.
After upgrading the machine version to "latest" hardware version, I am missing the configured network device, however I see a new device which needs to be configured. Why does this happen? Is there anything I can do, that I do not have new devices here??
However, even worse, I am missing the hard disks, that are not boot devices. And I have no idea how to get these back!
Any idea, what's the problem here? The hard disks are RBD-Devices that are stored on my CEPH cluster.
For the moment, I switched back to machine version 5.1 and everything is back to work.
As these are important production machines, I did not try and test any further...
Regards,
Ingo
