What a nice day ....
the start of trouble was ... Win11. We had a VM with W10 (4x2.4GHz + 8GB.RAM) and special Software on it. Now we wanted to upgrade to W11 24H2. It was only possible on an another hardware, because of "CPU too old".
But now the VM-W11 is slow like honey and CPU needs >60...80% in normal mode, without doing something > we give the machine 16GB RAM and 8xCPU > No much better.
The only difference between old Server (zRAID10) and the new Server (zRAID1) is the storage config.
That's why we wanted to expand from zRAID1 to zRAID10 with 2 new SSD.
But I made a terrible mistake and now the zpool is not loading .... only see busybox "manuell load rpool or so"

?? Is there an Howto "repair lost zpool" ? or is it better/faster to install the proxmox8 fresh and restore the 6 machines ?

Greetings and wish a nice weekend to you ...
 
There is no such thing as "zraid1" - it is "raidz1"

Same for "zraid10" - it is "a pool of Mirrors"

On the new Server, backup everything on the zpool, destroy it, and rebuild it as a pool of mirrors. RAIDZ1 is not recommended for VMs that need realtime interaction response times.

At the busybox commandline, try: ' zpool import -a -f /dev/disk/by-id ' -- if it works, I think either Ctrl+D or type ' exit ' and it should continue boot.

If not, then you probably need to reinstall and restore from backup.
