Upgrade from 7 to 8 killed cluster

So I upgraded from 7 to 8 following the directions and it has completely killed my cluster.

Basic setup with 4 nodes, NFS backed for all the storage (no ceph), a linux bridge and two vlans on the bridge. When the nodes startup they seem to start ok, but logging into each one and looking at cluster info it seems that every node shows something different as far as status. Syslog is constantly throwing link up/down for each host and hosts are randomly responsive and unresponsive. I have confirmed that network connectivity is good as everything pings and when the cluster portion is going haywire about network, I can go through each node and hit the shell of every other node in the cluster. At times I find the corosync service pegged @ 99% CPU and then that happens, the web gui is unresponsive I am also seeing the pveproxy dying a lot.

I have been trouble shooting the for more than a day.

pvecm status from each machine:

I have also verified that the corosync.conf is the same on every machine in the corosync and pve folders.
