Hi there I have an OVH server that went down with hardware failure not hd's .
When the server attempted to come back online, after the maintenance was complete, it gets stuck during the boot phase, with the message: (chain on hard drive failed)

Has anyone come across this error and a fix?
I am on Proxmox ve 5

Any help or advice appreciated
Brad
 
This may not be your problem, but i've had problems with hanging boot phase when an external USB drive is plugged in, on PVE 5. Now on 6 and no idea if it still happens.
 
Hi Brian
Thanks for your mail.
I am no expert here, but on your occasion if it is a machine at home you might just have the Bios boot order set to use USB first and then your HD - so having a USB stick in might cause this in your case.
As my setup is a remote server I wonder if the technician left something plugged into my server..
Kind Regards
Brad
