Known Issues in DataCore Installation Manager for Proxmox PSP22

ProxmoxDeploymentWizard fails to detect disks if SMART status is not OK or PASSED

Issue: Storage systems or hard drives may not be recognized as usable by ProxmoxDeploymentWizard if they do not report a SMART status of OK or PASSED. In such cases, the disks might be excluded from deployment, even if they are otherwise functional.

Workaround:

  • Rename the original smartctl binary:
      Copy
      Command
      mv /usr/sbin/smartctl /usr/sbin/smartctl.real
  • Create a new smartctl script:
      Copy
      Command
      mv /usr/sbin/smartctl /usr/sbin/smartctl.real
  • Add the following content:
      Copy
      Command
      #!/bin/bash
      # Always returns SMART PASSED
      echo "SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED"
      exit 0
  • Make the script executable:
      Copy
      Command
      chmod +x /usr/sbin/smartctl

Unable to Set VLAN ID Values

Issue: Under DataCore Networks, the VLAN ID value cannot be defined. Any value entered in this field is ignored, and VLAN tagging is not applied during deployment.

Virtual Machine Fails to Start When Using Proxmox 9.2.2 or Later

Issue: When deploying with Proxmox 9.2.2 or later, the virtual machine may fail to start during deployment. Proxmox reports a warning that the EFI disk does not have the updated UEFI 2023 Secure Boot certificates enrolled, and DataCore Installation Manager for Proxmox retries starting the virtual machine until the deployment step fails with "VM already running."

Workaround:

  • Shut down the affected virtual machine.
  • Enroll the updated UEFI certificates:
      Copy
      Command
      qm enroll-efi-keys <vm-id>
  • Resume the DataCore Installation Manager for Proxmox deployment.
