Proxmox Webconsole is not acessible and VMs are down

[nsantos]

Hello,

My webconsole to access proxmox is down and my VM are down as well.

However I can ping and access through SSH. I've made a reboot but it stills the same.

Could you please help me on this ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Nuno

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Well, the main problem is now solved. Let me describe what happened:

- I've changed the host name few months ago, after the VM has been created

- So, today we noticed the VM was down and I couldn't access my proxmox web console. However I could still log in through ssh

- I found some topic related to host names, and I check my hosts file and there I had the former host name, so then I fixed with the current host name

- From that time on, I could access to proxmox web console. However the VM was down and I could not start it.

- So, I made some research and conclude that my <vmid>.conf was not in /etc/pve/nodes/<current_host_name>/qemu_server, but it was under /etc/pve/nodes/<old_host_name>/qemu_server

- Then, I tried to copy the file but it gave "File exist" error, so then I copied the file giving a different name (a new VM id) under the right host name directory.

- Finally the VM could start nicely!

So now, in proxmox webconsole I can see two VMs... one with a red light saying the VM is not found and one with new Id, the one that is working. How can I remove the faulty VM without causing problems to the "good" VM ?



Thanks
Nuno

Hello,

Does someone have some remarks about my last question?

How can I remove the faulty VM without causing problems to the "good" VM ?

Now I need to create another VM and I have another question:

- Will the new VM mess up the VM ids and cause problems to the current VM with the id manually changed to 101 ?



Thanks in advance!


Best Regards

I do not understand what exactly your question is.

Do you what to erase the Vm?

Hello Wolfgang,


I only have one VM, but to solve the problem that I've mentioned in this thread, I've created a config file under the right hostname dir name folder with a new id (101).

However in Proxmox web console, I can see both host names and 2 VMs, one with the id 100 under the wrong hostname and another one with the id 101 under the right hostname, so my question is how to remove the old Id and the old hostname without remove or damage the VM 101 that is working fine under the new host name.


Thanks in advance!

Best Regards.

I guess you need to remove the files under /etc/pve/nodes/<wrong_hostname>/ (remove the whole dir)

Hello Dietmar,

Thanks for your reply.

Could that in some way delete the "good" VM ?

Thank you!
Best Regards.

No. If you have doubts, simply make a copy(backup) of those files before you remove them.
