[SOLVED] Proxmox zfs pool replaced drive - missing BIOS boot and EFI partitions

[matrix1999]

One of my drive is about to be worn out, so as a precaution, I replaced the worn NVMe today.

Upon rebooting Proxmox, I ran the zpool replace command. The new NVMe drive resilvered successfully. However, upon inspecting via the UI, I noticed something different.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the replaced NVMEdrive (highlighted in red rectangle) no longer has the BIOS boot and EFI partitions. Did I do something wrong when I ran the zpool replace command?

# the you must create new boot disk.

proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/disk/by-id/<new-disk>-part2

# and the you can use, check the function first

proxmox-boot-tool refresh
proxmox-boot-tool clean

Not really but you forgot some of the steps from the section Changing a failed bootable device: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_zfs_change_failed_dev

Thank you for your prompt response, @leesteken and @news. I am going to redo it now after I shutdown all the VMs and LXCs.

I actually like your steps better than the guide. Yours is more comprehensive. Thank you very much. Doing 2nd time resilvering as we speak right now. Actually, I am taking this opportunity to do the proxmox-boot-tool refresh and clean on the rest of my nodes in my clusters. I haven't done that in a while and especially not since I upgraded to PVE 9.
