[SOLVED] Proxmox not start after upgrade from v4.4 to v5.1

[ramses]

Hi everyone,

I have upgraded PROXMOX 4.4 to 5.1 following the next howto and after PROXMOX can't start the service again:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_4.x_to_5.0

Can anybody tell me what could I do to start PROXMOX again?

Hi,
what kind of filesystem do you use?

I had one machine, with zfs, where I must use rootdelay=5 as grub kernel option to boot successfull.

BTW. The usb install stick can be used for rescue-boot.

Hi Udo,

The server start but I can't connect him via WEB, the VM's and CT's not start either.

If I execute the "qm" command:

---------------------------------------------------------
# qm config 120 | grep ^vga ; echo $?
-bash: qm: command not found
1
#
---------------------------------------------------------

Not work.

If I execute the "pct" command not work either:

---------------------------------------------------------
# pct start 100
-bash: pct: command not found
#
---------------------------------------------------------

I unknow what happen...

Hi everyone,

I have solved the problem installing the PROXMOX package:

apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi

I think that postfix and open-iscsi packages were installed previously and was not necessary install it again.

Hi,
it's looks more, that you have installed an packet, which uninstalled an needed package (dependencies of proxmox-ve)...

But good, that the system is running again.

@JesusM my problem wass that when I upgraded the server, I only had in the source.list file this content:

-----------------------------------------------------
# debian updates
deb http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

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

I did not remembered to review it and It was missing the following lines:

-----------------------------------------------------
# Proxmox no subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription
-----------------------------------------------------

By this my server only upgraded the Linux system and did not work PROXMOX 5.1.

Later, I installed PROXMOX 5.1 with command:

apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi

After that all worked well again. The VM's and LXC CT's started without problems.

Before of upgrading It has to check the contain of source.list and must be:

-----------------------------------------------------
# debian updates
deb http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib

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

# Proxmox no subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription
-----------------------------------------------------
