Hi all, my 1th post here, hope the first of many !

So I made a noob mistake and assign 2 pci-e nic drivers cards that I don't have to a pfsense VM. I have a supermicro board with ipmi and 2 i350 intel nics.
I mistake my onboard nics with pci-e card nic. I created the VM but even before I installed pfsense I lost connection with the server. I assume the proxmox replaced the nics.

Is there any solution for this issue, or do I have to reinstall proxmox ?

Not sure what you mean. Did you passthrough NICs to a VM?

 

[sepol]

Yes, I did. Nics that I don't have. Still I find it very strange that I lost connection to the gui because of that. But thats what happened !
I can see the server is running because I have access by the ipmi.

You should always disable autostart for your VMs when testing new stuff concerning passthrough. You could use the webKVM of your IPMI webUI to access the console of your server. Login as root and then manually remove the PCI passthrough. You can run nano /etc/pve/qemu-server/VMIDofYourVM.conf to edit the VMs config file. Search for a lines start start with "hostpci" and remove them. You can then save the file by pressing CTRL+X and Y. Then you could reboot your server and check if it is reachable again.
