I have a Datacenter installation in which the virtual machines are managed by PROXMOX. For two weeks, some of my machines have been inactive and I cannot restart them by clicking on the START button.

I am a beginner with PROXMOX.
You can see on the FILANA machine in the attached file.

help me!!.

What is the error you get when trying to start them?
The ZFS store has a questionmark. Is this the storage the VMS lie on?
 
The VM does not restart, I tried to make the clone too to no avail. Here is the message I got when I wanted to migrate it to another machine:
Code:
zfs error: cannot open 'santank': no such pool

zfs error: cannot open 'santank': no such pool

2020-12-29 12:54:23 ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:00): could not activate storage 'ZFS_SAN', zfs error: cannot open 'santank': no such pool
TASK ERROR: migration aborted
 
You need to fix your ZFS pool.
Without the VMs storage you can't start it. Full stop.

What does a "zpool status" on the CLI report?
 
Ok, I'm just a beginner, but I'll read the literature to resolve the issue. If you can give me some leads, I'm interested.
 
Connect to your server on the CLI (via SSH or physical console) and type the command "zpool status"
 
Well.
In this case it gets complicated without further information about the setup.
Are there any defective drives shown in the system?
