[SOLVED] VM not created (not shown) but disks are

[kashifmax]

Hi,
Recently I have installed PVE (on HP DL380 no HW Raid) and tried to create vm but it didn't create (ZFS with RAID1).

Here is the output of one disk and snapshot

root@vm:~# zfs get all rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0

It looks like the VM was created but does not show up in the UI?
What is the output of qm status 100
If the VM is running, it would explain why you cannot delete the disk.

Please provide the status of your ZFS pool zpool status

As the UI is not listing VMs, let's verify if the API lists the VMs.
Please post the output of the following and replace <<node-name>> with the name of your node.

pvesh get nodes/<<node-name>>/qemu

To check if anything went wrong when creating the VM, please check the system journal and in case upload the journal.txt file

journalctl -x --since "2023-11-14" --until "2023-11-15" >| journal.txt

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. My post was waiting for approval since I think some days from now.
Anyway, I restarted the VE two three times. Then I shutdown the server. The next day I ran the server and I saw the VMs in UI.
I don't what was the issue. If you still want me to do some checks then probably I'll be doing later today.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Maybe this was just a UI issue, which didn't reload properly.
If it works now, please mark the thread as solved. Thanks
