Hi there,

When I was on vacation in Sweden I upgraded Proxmox and rebooted it.
The server didn't get back online.
I have now installed Proxmox on another SSD and upgraded to the 7.2 version. It works but of course I would like to get back as much of configuration as possible.
I did a:
Code:
lvdisplay | more
mount /dev/pve-OLD-30B4D533/root /mnt/root
mount /dev/Virtual/vm-100-disk-0 /mnt/virtual

I have all my containers and VM's on a seperate NVMe installed on a pool called Virtual which I can access.
I also have access to /mnt/root/var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db

However for some reason /etc/pve/ and /etc/lxc are empty.
What is the best way to get my containers and VM's back online?

Kind regards,
Guy
 
I did this but now I wasn't able to login to the webpage. I tried with the old and new password.
On the old system I had 2FA enabled. Any Idea how to correct this?
I don't see why the new password would work on the old system. I know nothing about 2FA, sorry. The manual talks about recovery keys; maybe that can help?
