Harware crash question

[mckeowns]

I had a proxmox server (great product by the way) running with over 10 VMs that crashed due to a power problem.
I have moved the drives to a new server. The server will boot fine and start my vms but the network card is not recogized so not of the vms have any network access nor can I manage the server from another machine.

Is there any way to get the nic recognized without having to reinstall? It is an Intel based nic. If I have to reinstall will it delete all of my vms?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

Remove this file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot the server:

rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

It's easy to fix, even if you have to reinstall (which only takes a few minutes):

- backup the VMs to a local drive (different from your Proxmox installation drive) or network server (NFS)
- reinstall proxmox
- add the local or network storage via the web interface
- open shell, cd to the directory where you keep the backups, use vzrestore/qmrestore to restore your VMs

rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Thanks for the quick support.
I think it worked for the most part.
My Containers now have network access but my VMS do not.

Do I have to remove the nic and re-add it inside the VMS?

Thanks in advance.

Can you paste the content of a VM's network config?
If it is Debian then paste contents of /etc/network/interfaces

The VM is a Windows 7 VM. Does that matter?

For me it does, I have no knowledge about Windows

I ended up removing the nic in the Windows VM and removing it in the web ui of Proxmox then readding it.
It works now.
Thanks for the help.

I guess windows must be peaky with the nic's MAC
