Hi team

My system shutdown due to power outage and when it rebooted none of my VM's are booting up, it tries to but I get the error storage 'local-zfs' does not exist.
 
Hi,
please share your /etc/pve/storage.cfg as well as the output of pveversion -v, zpool status -v and zfs list. Is this a stand-alone node or in a cluster?

Your storage configuration doesn't declare the storage.

If you joined a cluster, you will need to re-add the storage definition: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvecm.html#pvecm_join_node_to_cluster You also need to restrict in the configuration on which nodes the storage is actually available.

If you didn't join a cluster, you should be able to simply re-add the storage too Datacenter > Storage > Add > ZFS
