No additional errors:

root at pmx-14:~# pvesm list pool1
rbd error: rbd: listing images failed: (2) No such file or directory

Yes, we have a lot of VMs with disk on that storage and yes they seems 
to start normally (last start yesterday when we first notice the GUI 
behaviour)

Sure (edited the IP addresses and pool names):

[cit /etc/pve/storage.cfg]
...
rbd: pool1
	content images
	monhost 172.16.1.1;1172.16.1.2;172.16.1.3
	pool pool1
	username admin

rbd: pool2
	content images
	monhost 172.16.1.1;172.16.1.2;172.16.1.3
	pool pool2
	username admin
...
[/cit]

Thanks!
