We have been running a Proxmox VE version 3 system for some time without issues. Abruptly, the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file disappeared, pve-cluster and cman fell over and containers became inaccesible. We recreated the cluster configuration with pvecm create newcluster and it found the previous container images and booted them. However, the OpenVZ command line tools are now non-functional. For example, vzlist -a on the hypervisor reports 'Container(s) not found'. Has anyone else seen this behavious and, if a solution was found, what was it?

I had almost the same situation. Client stored these files on an encrypted drive over mdadm and did a hard reset. After that the /etc/pve folder was gone.
Maybe that's your case too. I guess Proxmox stores some configuration in memory and does not handle hard resets well. Especially if you have complex storage like LVM + LUKS + MDADM. Instead trying to fix corrupted data it removes all configuration leaving container's private data.

We're using a pretty generic RAID system. /etc/pve was still there, but cluster and container configuration was gone. – David G Sep 29 '14 at 19:53
