Upgrade PVE 7 to 8 GUI services do not start automatically

[Ramartins]

Hello everyone

I have the following problem: I updated the PVE version from 7 to 8. So far, everything is fine. However, when I restarted the server, the WEB GUI services did not start automatically. I had to start them all manually by accessing the server via SSH. I used the command below and then I was able to access the GUI

systemctl start pve-cluster pveproxy pvedaemon pvestatd pvescheduler pve-firewall

With the command systemctl --failed, I received the following information

UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● ceph-mgr@pve.service loaded failed failed Ceph cluster manager daemon
● pve-guests.service loaded failed failed PVE guests

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed.

Command systemctl status pve-guests.service I receive the following information

× pve-guests.service - PVE guests Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pve-guests.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2024-11-07 17:47:02 -03; 16h Aug Main PID: 1487 (code=exited, status=111) CPU: 1.183s Nov 07 17:47:01 pve systemd[1]: Starting pve-guests.service - PVE guests...

I didn't understand exactly where the error is, I searched the forum and didn't find anything related to this.

If anyone can help me I would be very grateful

Hey,

did any errors pop up during the upgrade? Could you try

apt update
apt dist-upgrade
apt reinstall pve-manager

Also check journalctl -b, it'll give you the logs since the last boot, look for any errors, especially for the services you mentioned. Do you have a cluster? If, do other nodes have a same problem after the upgrade?

During the upgrade, no errors occurred. I strictly followed the instructions in the manual https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8 to complete the upgrade. I also tried running the apt command to reinstall pve-manager, but without success.

As for the cluster, it is still not working, we are performing upgrades to connect it to another equally updated server.

Attached is the journalctl -b log
