Hello,

I have a cluster with 3 nodes (Debian 11, PVE 7.1.x) and try to add a 4. node (with GUI, described here). The IP from the new node are added to the firewall from the cluster. I can ssh from every node to the new node and back. But it does not work, on the new node:

Code:
root@node-neu ~ # pvecm status

}

  config_version: 39
  interface {
    linknumber: 0
  }
  ip_version: ipv4-6
  secauth: on

}

and on the new node:


Code:

Any ideas whats wrong?

Edit: I also add all IP's, hostnames and short names (node-3, node-1, ..) to the /etc/hosts from the new node.

hi,

have you tried to restart the below services on all nodes?

Bash:
systemctl restart corosync.service
systemctl restart pve-cluster.service
