[SOLVED] How to use disks from old Proxmox-installation (ZFS)

[Jambo Bambo]

I ran into an issue with my USB-stick installation and was not able to boot from the stick anymore, so I made a new installation of Proxmox into a 32gb ssd-drive and was able to import my old ZFS into this setup using the 'zpool import <name>'-command .

Now however I am unable to mount the old disk files into my new VMs. I can see the disk files in the GUI (Storage view -> name of storage -> content), but they won't show up in the VM-menu:



I can only see unused disk from the ones created on this installation of proxmox:


Not able to select it from the Unused Disk 0 through edit:


Is there a way to mount the existing raw-images to a new VM?

edit the unused disk to add it in the vm

edit the unused disk to add it in the vm

I tried to do this, but the drop down menu only shows the disk that was created on this instance of Proxmox. So I am not able to select the vm-100-disk-1, that I would like to attach.

 

[dcsapak]

a disk with name 'vm-100-disk-1' can only be added the vm with id '100'

a disk with name 'vm-100-disk-1' can only be added the vm with id '100'

Thanks for the help! This seems to have fixed the issue. Also needed to run 'qm rescan' on the cli to get the raw-images to show up in the GUI!
