pve file missing after unistall of smartctrl

[babas24]

hi
we ve done a clean install 2 weeks ago with windows vm. with VM.

due to some bug with smartmontool and crucial ssd, we are trying to install from public dist ****smartmontools*** to get the last drivedb as we don't find the update script update-smart-drivedb on proxmox install.
but during install of package it remove all dependency file before installing the last version, and remove all proxmox pve componants.

I try to reinstall them using apt-get install promox-pve but received a failed message as package are not present or referenced from an other one.

may be due to apt-get install proxmox-ve against the non free-subscription repository?


how can we get the distrib back?


as I remember version is 5.1.41 after last update.


now we are in console mode with some internet access. All vm are down.

hi
thanks for your answer.
it s not the same as apt-get install?

I will try this tomorrow. is it a problem with The repository? I suspect that key is no valid yet for enterprise as I saw it is not registered in mypromox . should i switch to no subscription and update?

Hi,
you wrote before you have tried to installed "proxmox-pve" != "proxmox-ve" ...

apt-get install is the same like apt install, but with stretch apt should preferred.

About you repo - simply check with "apt update" - if you don't get an error about no access, your key is valid. If not install pve-nosubscription repo:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-no-subscription.list
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

ok i m in front of server now.
if I use "apt update" no error message
but if I apt install proxmox-pve
i get "package is not avaible, but is refered to by another package"

so what I do is switching to no pve subscription and create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list and add
echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list

then
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg

and
apt update && apt dist-upgrade

get some error with modprobe: ERROR: I will check this after

but if I send apt install promox-ve, installation is done and now all vm are up.
but I get You do not have a valid subscription for this server. Please visit www.proxmox.com to get a list of available options

to fix now: subscription and modprobe.

right,
like I wrote before - the package are named proxmox-ve not proxmox-pve!

so what I do is switching to no pve subscription and create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list and add
echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list

why?

then
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg

why you downloaded the pgp-key, which are allready was installed?

and
apt update && apt dist-upgrade

Now you are on pve-no-subscription repo (partly newer packages).

get some error with modprobe: ERROR: I will check this after

but if I send apt install promox-ve, installation is done and now all vm are up.
but I get You do not have a valid subscription for this server. Please visit www.proxmox.com to get a list of available options

to fix now: subscription and modprobe.

To go back to your subscrition + enterprise-repo:
disable pve-nosubscriptoíon repo
enable pve-enterprise-repo
login to maurer-it and reissue your pve-key
enter your subscription-key in the web-gui

Hi Udo
Let me explain
Yes proxmox-ve is not proxmox-pve!
I try both before. And i have no other answer from apt .
I search for the pgp key and i dont find it in /etc/apt/trus(....) . I don’t know if i should have one with the entreprise repo in this directory or if it gone.
So i go to maurer it and check licence . It s active but no servers are registered. As it is specified « field will be updated next time the server ... »
So i suppose something is missing in proxmox install and it doesnt whant to update or reload packge as it said pakage are uptodate.
That why i swicth distrib to force package and get key.
I launch the same apt command and i get package and key.
Install proxmox, I only get a warning as zed is newer than in new distrib!!! So i decide to let new version ad i dont know if config file that are not remove could be incompatible with old one.
For me this is better.
Reboot server and get error in modprobe .
But server is running now.
Something i miss is that i go to the gui web page and check license. There is no licences so to check i entering my key and this time i get registred.
But effectively i p not in the rigth repo know.
So i change repo .
Apt update and apt-dist update
But it cannot be effective as i havent reissue my Subscription key I suppose? How can i check I m in good distrib? Is there some thing on maurer it?
Production is started so i haven’t enough time to reboot server. I will do it next.

Thanks

hi udo
in front of server again easy to cut and paste.
do try to solve server error
kernel first:
/usr# grep "error" /var/log/syslog
Apr 15 10:20:58 **** kernel: [ 0.228172] HEST: Enabling Firmware First mode for corrected errors.
Apr 15 10:20:58 **** kernel: [ 11.948085] usb 4-1: device not accepting address 2, error -62

first seems to be a bios error may be I should open an other thread

but if you have some ideas.

You probably need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list to include use the pve-no-subscription repo.
Then you'll be able to install things.
