Recover Directories and VMs

[suiciniv]

After having corrupted files on the proxmox SSD, I needed to reinstall. I had an Images directory on a hd, and VMs on other SSDs, is it possible to "reassemble" (without losing) the structure I had? I performed the mount through mnt /dev/sd*1 /mnt/pve/images (as it was before) and mount -a, but it does not appear in PVE. Thank you.

Hi,
do you have a backup of /etc/pve? If not, you need to re-create the storage configuration Datacenter > Storage > Add with the correct type and path. And then you need to re-create the VM configuration files. Easy way is to not create any disk during VM creation, but use an ID that matches the existing disks. Then run qm rescan --vmid <ID> to make the existing disks show up as unused, attach the drives and add the boot drive to the Boot Order setting.

Thanks fiona! I didn't have a backup. My friend helped me with this.. he created the storage, like you said and he gave another ID to VM, so, he edited the ID.conf and changed for a new VM.. it works. Thank you for your support.
