[SOLVED] unable to start pvedeamon after update

[Giacomo Vallini]

Hi, this morning i updated the server packages of both the nodes of my cluster.

Now on my second node, i can't reach virtual machines by gui, or start them by cli. I can reach the node's console.

The syslog error is:

I just upgraded 3 servers to 6.3-3 and on two of the servers I'm getting "communication refused(595)" and from the cmd line on the two servers and most commands qm, pvesh , etc.. I get the

no such standard option 'prune-backups'
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump/Plugin.pm line 11.

message, I tried the apt dist-upgrade and get

The following packages have been kept back:
libpve-storage-perl pve-container pve-manager
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Any ideas

Had to create an account just to thank OP. I was fooling around and decided to update all the packages, I do that on my desktop machines frequently w/ apt-get update / upgrade. I found my ProxMox server was no longer accessible via browser, and checking the which I had been happily using for over a year. Running systemctl status 'pve*' showed numerous errors. I was afraid I hosed the whole thing, but found this post and tried apt dist-upgrade then rebooted, which solved got everything back up!

Thank you!
