Remove node from Cluster

[mcmyst]

Hi,

I followed the wiki to remove 2 nodes from my cluster:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster#Remove_a_cluster_node

The two nodes where successfully removed without error.

My cluster is now a 3 node cluster (5 nodes before):

pvecm nodes
Node Sts Inc Joined Name
2 M 16068 2015-01-27 15:56:48 vn10
4 M 16176 2015-05-02 02:35:58 vn11
5 M 16164 2015-04-21 12:56:50 vn7

But when I log in to the proxmox WebGUI i can still see one node with two VM (old unused VM).

How can i do to remove this node ?

When I look into /etc/pve/nodes/ I can still see 2 directories named as my old nodes:
ls -l /etc/pve/nodes/
total 0
drwxr-x--- 2 root www-data 0 Aug 21 2014 vn10
drwxr-x--- 2 root www-data 0 Aug 29 2014 vn11
drwxr-x--- 2 root www-data 0 Dec 11 2012 vn3
drwxr-x--- 2 root www-data 0 Mar 8 2013 vn6
drwxr-x--- 2 root www-data 0 Apr 4 2013 vn7


Can I safely remove this directories with "rm -r vn3" and "rm -r vn6" ?

Thank you

Regards

yes

Thank you dietmar, I did the "rm" and the node disapeared from the webGUI.

Problem solved !

yes

But is this expected or it is an exception? Should the wiki section be updated at least to add this procedure?

1) If you follow the wiki literally it says that you have to migrate all the VMs from the node that you want to remove.
I didn't do it because theses 2 VM where not needed anymore. If I had deleted them, this problem would not have occurred.

2) It seems that when you delete a node, a directory is staying in /etc/pve/nodes/ but it does not affect anything.
You could delete it without any problem (I did it this morning without problem).
