[SOLVED] edit the VM.conf file [SOLVED]
Hi guys,
Ill start this with. Never do admin audit stuffs when sick and your head is not 100% lesson learned.
So today I was doing some updates and spring cleaning on my Proxmox install. This includes approx 5 VMs
3 running Ubuntu 20.04
2 running Ubuntu 22.04
I deleted the 20.04 ISO within storage, this is the ISO I would have used for the install of the VMs.
I then also did an apt upgrade and reboot of the host machine.
The only machine to come back online is the 22.04
If I ssh onto the node what I get is below
Further digging or trying to start the VMs via CLI results in.
Now my initial thought is find the iso, re-download it, install in back into storage and reboot or restart and away we go. However, before I do that I wanted to be sure that this wouldnt break anything so
1. Is it as simple as getting the ISO and uploading it?
2. If not am I in bigger trouble?
3. Is there a risk of lost data?
On point 1. I wonder if this is the fix, why? Isnt the OS installed, why would it be using the live-server iso?
Another strange issue I came across was that the promox GUI on 8006 didnt seem responsive, hence the CLI usage. However one issue at a time.
Cheers in advance
