Hello guys!

I have lost my proxmox installation disk, the good news is the others disk with the vms/data is running fine. But i cant know how to add the data disk to my new installation of proxmox, with new disk, of course.

The new setup show me that:

The SDA is the new disk/new installation. And the B and C are the older disks with my data (vms virtual disks).
How can i add to the new install without wiping that?

I found this on other server of my node:

The h62 is the damaged/lost server

Your VM data is still there, your VM configuration however is gone. I was stored on your PVE install disk.
You need to create each VM new and attach the already available disk afterwards.
If you would have backups, you could extract the VM config from the backup and just attach the old disks.

unplug all disks, plug only the disk you want to install to, install and then plug all remaining disks.

I do that friend, but when i plug the remain disks the proxmox dnt reconfigure the storages by itself. Is that my problem, i need help to do that.
 
UPDATE: recovered one data this by added this line to storage.cfg

The data is back :) Now im trying to import the other disk with ext4
 
Do you know how the way to import the other disk with ext4?
The same way you did it before. I've never created it via the GUI, yet via the CLI, you just mount it somewhere and create a directory storage to somewhere, e.g.

Code:
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk2

and add

Code:
dir: local
        path /mnt/disk2
        content vztmpl,backup,iso,rootdir,images
        shared 0

Maybe that helps.
