Proxmox VE 4.3 Suddenly Not Working

[Ahmad Anggra]

Hi All,

Today after installing & configuring ocs inventory ng agent on my Proxmox VE 4.3 machine. The Proxmox suddenly not working.

I can not access from web manager nor I can using it related command. From netstat status, it is look like the Proxmox not running.

Please help me to trouble shot this problem since I do not want lose my container and VM setting that just done configure properly.


The /etc/pve directory is empty.

root@pve:~# ls -l /etc/pve/
total 0​

Nestat result & dpkg:

root@pve:~# netstat -an | grep 8006
root@pve:~# dpkg -l | grep proxmox
rc proxmox-ve 4.3-66 all The Proxmox Virtual Environment
​

Some log snapshot from daemon:

Hi,

The /etc/pve directory is empty.
root@pve:~# ls -l /etc/pve/

This indicated the pmxcfs is not running, so nothing can work

ocs inventory ng agent is writen in perl I think this packet install a package what conflicts with PVE packages.
What I can say you miss imported PVE files.

Try to

apt-get install --reinstall proxmox-ve

I think it will fail but you get a clue where the problem is.

Yes it fail, I had tried to reinstall using command you mentioned (even before got reply from you).
And I had receive following messages:

root@pve:~# apt-get install --reinstall proxmox-ve
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package proxmox-ve is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'proxmox-ve' has no installation candidate
​

Does proxmox need special repository configuration? Oh yeah I have concern, does it means the container & vm that been created get destroyed... if so I will not meddle some any perl software on ocs machine.

Thank you very much for the reply.

 

[wolfgang]

you have to include the repository.

It is removed.

Ok thank you very much for the explanation. It is hard way to learn something. Definitely do not meddle some with perl packet for proxmox and doing at last once a week full backup of disk during configuration phase.
Once again thank you very much wolfgang.

I had reinstall it and get so many error. Look like it better for me to reinstall the machine from CD.
