Moving Proxmox boot drives to a new machine

[mishanw]

Hi Everyone, Im deprecating a node and moving the mirrored boot drives to a new Dell, however, I'm not able to access Proxmox on the new Dell. I believe it's due to the NIC not being the same and the management interface changing. Im trying to avoid doing a fresh install, since I did not backup my TrueNAS VM and am also trying to avoid issues with the cluster.

What do I need to do to update the management interface, so that I can access Proxmox via web?

Same way all the other people did who could not reach the GUI remotely: run ip a and adjust /etc/network/interfaces accordingly. Also check cables and router, etc.

Output: on the config:

network:

Proxmox cant go online. The interfaces are also showing down.

It looks like you have a 4 port NIC in your new machine, and the ports are named eno1 thru eno4. Your old machine was configured to use eno1. You need to plug in your network cable into the correct port, either the top or bottom, and it should work. You may need to restart networking services; I'm away from my computer but I believe the command is "systemctl restart networking"

And vmbr0 is also missing in that output; probably because the configuration is invalid. In your current configuration en01 is defined three times (eno1, eno1 and enp1s0f0). Don't do that and define eno1. eno2, eno3 and en04 (or their altnames but not both) once.
