Recover from crashed proxomox

[Neotic086]

Hi

I had a proxomox running zfs on all drives and had a grub issue after a power failure, I decided todo the following:

1. Add a new drive install proxmox
2. imported the zpools
3. add the zfs in the GUI
4. Change the BIOS to UEFI
5. Created UEFI disk
6. create a new VM ie 1000 edit the qemu file to point to the vm-100-disk-0
7. Tried to boot the vm.

This does not work its a windows VM what am I missing. If yo can point me in the right direction that would be great

According to my experience you can't switch an existing BIOS based Installation of Windows to an UEFI Version.
In such a case you need to reinstall the Windows OS.
Switch back to BIOS mode and it should Boot up just fine.

Thanks for the response.

It was setup as UEFI bios to begin with on my original install, I'm more concerned with how I have mounted the drives if this is correct.
I'm a noob when it come to zfs.

Ok Just an update here, I just set the boot drive to IDE and not vertio, This seamed to work for 2 out of my 4 MV's the the other 2 I restored my system partition using my bare-metal backups and attached my the data disks.

Will try change back to virtio at a later stage.
