I created 10 simplezones, each with its own vnet and subnet, I manually edited the files in /etc/pve/sdn and pressed apply via web-ui.

This worked well, but I did some changes on /etc/pve/sdn/subnets.cfgand pressed applyagain, since then I cant get a ip adress on any of the zones (although there are no current dhcp-reservations).

How can I troubleshoot this? Maybe should have used pvesh instead of manually editing the files, might this be the issue?

Error:

Bash: 
net0: hotplug problem - can't find any free ip in zone sz06 for IPv4 at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Network/SDN/Vnets.pm line 143.

I tried, but it did not help.

Bash: 
service networking restart
systemctl restart dnsmasq@sz06.service

Edit 1: The strange thing, If I create a vm from scratch and use the vnet pvej for example it works, and there is no error. But if I have a VM that and its net0 Adapter gets changed via web-ui, it does not work and bringup the message from above.

Edit: Can be reproduced with: create a vm with vnet01, change vnet01 to vnet02, get a error. Creating a vm with vnet02 from scratch does not bring up that error.

Can you post the contents of the SDN configuration files? (/etc/pve/sdn/*.cfg)

Thanks! Here you are.

Edit 1: It might be a issue, that I edited the files, seems like creating a new sz a new vnet and new subnet via webui, does not lead to that issue.

Ok thanks, Ill delete everything and will use pvesh

Seems like this is the right direction:
Code: 
delete sdn subnet object failed: zone 'sz10' doesn't exist in IPAM DB (500)

yes, this is the way if you want to do with cli or automate it.

Thanks! Do you know howto use --dhcp-range on pvesh? I looked at the api-viewer online but I dont get howto put in the range here.

Code: 
root@PMX7:~# pvesh create cluster/sdn/vnets/pveb/subnets/ --subnet 192.168.30.0/24 --type subnet --gateway 192.168.30.1 --snat 1 --dhcp-range [192.168.30.10-192.168.30.30]

dhcp-range[0]: invalid format - value without key, but schema does not define a default key

Should work like this:

Code: 
-dhcp-range start-address=10.0.1.100,end-address=10.0.1.200

I somehow broke IPAM and dnsmasq i guess. I deleted everything and recreated all with pvesh, the prev error is gone, but I still dont get IP-Adresses on any of the zones, although they have autodns-enabled and correctly defined subnet.

Seems like I broke the ipam database or location where the information is store. Is there a way to recreate ipam (pve) database or check if its ok? IPAM in Web-UI also does not show a single item.

Does /etc/pve/priv/ipam.db exist?
Are there any JS errors in the browser console?

Yes this file exists.

Code: 
root@PMX7:/etc/pve/priv# ls -lisah | grep ipam
191246 512 -rw------- 1 root www-data  740 Aug 21 13:54 ipam.db

There are no errors in the logs, neither the node nor the cluster-log. vms come up with 0.0.0.0/24 as a ip-address
Not sure bout the js-errors. anything i should look for specificly or can you explain howto check for the errors that might be relevant?

Edit: this is the log, when I start a vm, that should get a ip from dnsmasq:

Code: 
GET https://10.2.1.135:8006/api2/json/nodes/PMX7/qemu/201/agent/network-get-interfaces 500 (QEMU guest agent is not running)

no other messages unfortunatly. I also created a new zone,vnet and subnet while having the browser-console open, no errors.

Found some errors in the dnsmasq service, could be "no file" as It might only get created when dhcp offerd a ip.

This shouldn't be an issue, it gets created as soon as there are IPAM entries and until then dnsmasq just chugs along...


How does the ipam.db file look like?
Is the firewall active?
Have you restarted the VMs (via the Proxmox Web UI)?

Seems like ohly zpvek worked. this was one zone I created via web-ui. Web-UI only shows zpvek, the other entries from the .db-file are not visible, all other zones neither zpvej zpvei etc.

The others are the ones I created with pvesh, do not work. Can you explain why? This is what I used:

Code: 
pvesh create cluster/sdn/zones --type simple --zone zpvea --dhcp dnsmasq
pvesh create cluster/sdn/vnets --vnet pvea --zone zpvea
pvesh create cluster/sdn/vnets/pvea/subnets/ --subnet 192.168.20.0/24 --type subnet --gateway 192.168.20.1 --snat 1 --dhcp-range start-address=192.168.20.10,end-address=192.168.20.20
pvesh set cluster/sdn


Edit: I might have found the error, because ipam is not referenced in my command-set. Im sorry, will try again! pve-ipam is defaulted on web-ui and not optional.

It does work now! Thanks for your help, should I delete the old entries in the .db-file? There is content in it, which is not represented in the web-ui
