Reimport ZFS drives

[Joran_C]

I reinstalled proxmox and had all my VM's on a ZFS disk and i can see my VM's in the cli but how can a readd or reuse them? Or cna i export that said disk?

Thats only the vm disks, you are still missing the configs containg all the information. They are normally stored under /etc/pve/qemu/

But you can create a new vm and attach the disks. Add the zpool first under "Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS"

First add your pool so proxmox knows about it "Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS"

Then create a new VM, edit the vm "VM -> Hardware" remove the created disk during setup and add the old disk from your pool.

The disk should be listed as "unused disk" in "vm -> hardware -> add"

Otherwise you can always edit the vm config manually "/etc/pve/qemu/vmid.conf" and just add it there.

Ohw i just noticed the VM ids of the disks are not the same as the VM ids , could this interfere?

dunno might create problems when you create a new vm with the existing drive id.

i would rename the vdev for consistency anyway "zfs rename ZFS_HDD/vm-xxx-disk-x ZFS_HDD/vm-xxx-disk-x"
