Hello Proxmox Community

I'am absolutly new here, and i need little help, in the meantime i have done the Backup from existings Esxi Images to Synology.
After i threw it away Esxi, and installing from scratch ProxmoxVE-8.1, the last version, this has come. i have a little problem here ;-)

In the server view-storage view, the connection to Synology is established with IP address and storage, v3 to NAS. I also see a green
dot in the server-view-storage, but I do not see the folder structure on this share.

Troubleshooting:
from Client> Ping to Proxmox and NAS, Alive
from NAS> Ping to Proxmox and Client, Alive
from Proxmox> Ping to NAS and Client, Alive

Proxmox-cli> check if "nfs-common" are installed, yes, and on last Version
Proxmox-cli> check logs "/var/log/" but no "messages" file available, creating manually but the size dont grow.
Proxmox-cli> df -h, i dont see any NFS connection esablished
Proxmox-cli> df -h, also i dont see the 3Tb space volume, but on Server-view-Storage, are visible.

meny thanks

That's normal. PVE sees only its storage structure and nothing else. That is by design.

Proxmox VE 8 is based on Debian Bullseye, which does not use syslog anymore, but journald. Changelog.
 
thanks for your quick answer!

But how i can access now to my existing VM on NAS? so that i copy this to "local-Storage" and register to PVE?
thanks

No, a somewhat angry decision has forced me to switch to PVE.

Please add the output to the thread encoded with CODE or SPOILER tags. As well as outputs of "cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg" and "pvesm status".

both this statement ^ and your content of "storage.cfg" cannot be true at the same time on the same machine.

The storage.cfg file defines the storage pools that Proxmox sees and operates on. The GUI reads the context of that file to present back. Your configuration file has no trace of NFS.

I recommend that you go back and examine everything carefully, perhaps you've modified your configuration since opening the thread.
Or may be you are confused as to what "proxmox-cli" means and were not looking at the actual hypervisor at the time.

Good luck
