I restarted my hp proliant dl360 g6 with proxmox installed as the os yesterday and now it boots to the bootloader then restarts I have tried booting as recovery as well with the same result my drives in the server hold more data that I have nowhere else to temporarily move them too due to the size of the data. If someone could help me recover the system with no data loss it would be appreciated
 
You can try to boot with a live debian image, and do a copy of the disks in the lvm volume to a external usb or via rsync to a new machine. To find the disks you can use:
Code:
pvesm list local-lvm
Then for example:

Code:
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /dev/local-lvm/vm-100-disk-0 /mnt/usb01/vm-100-disk-0.qcow2

As i stated in the post i do not have anywhere to temporarly store terebytes worth of data besides the drives they are currently stored on.
