Rebooted server today and I am getting most of the services failing to start.

I know most things are not going to work if pve-cluster doesn't start, which its not.

I am seeing the following in the log

Feb 12 10:56:34 wlpt-prmx-s01 pmxcfs[4644]: [main] notice: resolved node name 'wlpt-prmx-s01' to '192.168.41.40' for default node IP address

Looks like I have some duplicate entry and not sure how to correct it.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you changed the host's name?
What's in your /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts ?

Yes, I did.

I found the following topic that corrected my issue also.

Thread 'Request for help cleaning up my config.db'

Hi there!
I am somewhat of a fresh home user of proxmox.
While adding a second host to my cluster, my first hostname had to change. After following the KB on this (edit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname and /etc/postfix/main.cf and the coroconf) a reboot I noticed this host with the wrong (old) name in the UI. (I did follow the same procedure on another host, and that rename went just fine...) So I tried figuring out how to fix that as well. I noticed that all my VMs were still in the folder under /etc/pve/nodes/ so I moved the qemu-server folder from the old server named folder to the new named...

Would be nice if you provided that little detail ;)

For reference, there is a long thread regarding host name change with different procedures, some for older versions [1]

You probably had some configurations in the host too. Some combinations of changes end up with a database error like the one you had. For the record: did you manually moved anything within /etc/pve? Was it before or after restarting with the new hostname? Thanks!
