Proxmox VE 4.0 - Re-install cluster node Cannot initialize CMAP service

[pjkenned]

I recently had a failed boot SATA DOM and tried re-installing a cluster node. Luckily, there was nothing too important on the node while it was running.

I used these steps exactly: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_4.x_Cluster#Re-installing_a_cluster_node

The files backed up were installed where they are supposed to go. I started the services in the order on the Wiki page and am seeing this:

root@node05:~# pvecm status
Cannot initialize CMAP service

I am going to try another re-install. I did double-check that it can ping to the other five nodes and it can be pinged from the other five nodes.

I tried doing:

systemctl status corosync.service

and got:

Dec 04 16:38:10 node05 corosync[3646]: [MAIN  ] Corosync Cluster Engine ('2.3.5'): started and ready to provide service.

Dec 04 16:38:10 node05: Failed to start Corosync Cluster Engine.
Dec 04 16:38:10 node05 systemd[1]: Unit corosync.service entered failed state.

I did check the the correct /etc/corosync/corosync.conf file is present.

Happy to make a bug report if there is a category this falls in. I do not want to make a bug if it is really a step was missing for re-installation.

Seems you also need to copy /etc/corosync/authkey from one of the other cluster nodes.

I'm using Proxmox 5.2-6 and created the cluster with the gui
