Hi @ all,

today I ran apt-update and dist-update after my proxmox was shutdown since xmas last year. During the update I had to do several choices whether I wanted to overwrite config files. Unfortunately, I don't exacly remember them.

Ever since the update was done, the GUI is not reachable anymore. Chrome as well as Firefox say: Err_connection_refused. Apparently the Server doesnt answer the https request.

I did some research on how to restart the pve-* services. but nothing worked. When trying to reinstall the pve-cluster I receive a message about unmet dependencies which can't be solved:

"root@PVE-Node02:~# apt install pve-cluster

My apt/sources.list looks like this:
root@PVE-Node02:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib


# Updates
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main contrib

# Testing
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pvetest


deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main


Which other information do you need to help me get it running again? Is there a way to do a rollback to the 6.2.x Version which I had before?

Many thanks for your help in advance

Hi Tom,

thank you for your reply, though it was not the answer I hoped for ;-)

what will happen to the VM on the ZFS Storage?

The proxmox itself is installed on two ssd in a rpool.

that wud hav been possibly a good idea. unfortunately the fresh install was done by the time of your post.

Therefore my next challenge was to make the old zfs pool "NAS-Raid5" available again. This video was very helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG2xLOn8C1s

The pool is seen again by the gui :-) BUT there are two more challenges:
1. The pool is not usable as storeage yet on the gui. How can I make use of it again?
2. I had three disks within the pool as you can see below. How do I bring them back?

root@pve02:~# zpool import -d /dev/
pool: NAS-Raid5
id: 18353966679551735958
state: ONLINE
status: The pool was last accessed by another system.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier and
the '-f' flag.
see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-EY
config:

NAS-Raid5 ONLINE
raidz1-0 ONLINE
sdb ONLINE
sdd ONLINE
sde ONLINE
sdf ONLINE
sdg ONLINE
sdh ONLINE
root@pve02:~# zpool import NAS-Raid5
cannot import 'NAS-Raid5': pool was previously in use from another system.
Last accessed by PVE-Node02 (hostid=97670eee) at Sat May 1 23:20:45 2021
The pool can be imported, use 'zpool import -f' to import the pool.
root@pve02:~# zpool import -f NAS-Raid5

thank you saahib for the links. They didnt solve the prob. Mostlikely it'll be the easiest way to just destroy the zfs build from the 6 4TB HDD. Fortunately I won't loose any data :cool:
 
Well, I don't know if you need ZFS, I have been evaluating it on system and during a big SQL restore (about 4 hours) , there is no activity but system already feel sluggish. And since its still going on, I am not testing anything on system till the restore is complete.

BTW, in your given example, I don't see you being using "-f" flag , did you ?
 
good evening evryone. Many thanks for you effort to help me out with that problem. I found the solution by error OMG...

On the GUI I clicked on "datacenter" => "storage" and simply added the ZFS NAS-Raid5 to the Proxmox server.

The thread can be closed and marked as solved
