Hello,

I had a Proxmox server, 1 drive with proxmox installation, 2 drives as Directory containing VM files (disk). The drive containing Proxmox died. Got new one. Installed proxmox on it. Mounted the 2 drives as /mnt/Storage1 /mnt/Storage2

I can see my VM disks.

How do I add my previous disk to a new VM without creating a new drive for it

Cheers.

Andrzej

SOLUTION:

Click on the unattached disk, then edit to add it to the VM again.

If it isn't listed in the VMs hardware tab you can run qm rescan
