Hello friendly people,

I made probably some huge doodoo and could need your help. :-/
First of all: I have no physical access to my server atm.
I had issues with my Wireshark service on my Fritz!Box so I decided to install pivpn on an LXC container on my PVE 8.2.4. After having set up the container, I SSHed into … my PVE host! Don‘t ask me why, I was not concentrated I guess. Well, there I executed the installation script of pivpn:
Code:
curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash

It requires a reboot which I did. Then I recognized what I did and hit `pivpn uninstall` after the reboot and then rebooted again. Since then I cannot see my phyiscal HDDs anymore, only the SSD which holds the PVE OS files and some LXC/VM data. The disks have vanished from the „Disks“ section. The logs show a „SATA link down“ message (sorry for the screenshot but with my iPad it is impossible to copy syslog messages from the WebUI):

I found here in the forum a thread which recommends adding
Code:
intel_iommu=pt
to the grub file which I did but it did not help. Since I have no physical access I cannot check whether the drives appear in on the hosts BIOS.
It is a weird coincidence that this happened after my pivpn adventure but for sure it *could* be that something is wrong with the hardware too (not even a year old). Do you have any ideas or hints I could look for from the distance?

Cheers
