Hi all,

I shut down all the virtual computers, then the host. After physically relocating the host I powered it up again.
All but one virtual computer started up. That one was trying to access its storage when starting up but it failed:

Code:
TASK ERROR: storage 'ProxmoxBackup' is not online

I checked and the storge is indeed not active:

I checked the system log but that only tells me that the storage is not online. But I would like to find out the cause. What can I do to analyze this?
Is there anything else I can check? What can cause such a behavior?

I am running Proxmox 8.3.4.

Best regards

What is the contend of "/etc/pve/storage.cfg" ?
After the screenshot, you should see something in the log. Does the journal show you anything helpful?

Code:
#Livelog:

journalctl -f -p3

storage,cfg:
Code:
dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content vztmpl,backup,iso

lvmthin: local-lvm
        thinpool data
        vgname pve
        content rootdir,images

nfs: ProxmoxBackup
        export /volume1/ProxmoxBackup
        path /mnt/pve/ProxmoxBackup
        server 192.168.0.5
        content images,backup
        options vers=4
        prune-backups keep-all=1

Thank you, now I see the error:
> server 192.168.0.5
That server was not powered up successfully after the relocation and that's why the volume was missing. I booted the server and now it works.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! :-)
