After applying updates on all 3 of my nodes, now 1 of the nodes will not communicate with the others. It has a green check but question mark on the others. When I check the other 2, they have green checks but the third has a question mark.

I've performed these steps in an attempt to get the cluster back working:
  1. systemctl stop pve-cluster
  2. systemctl stop corosync
  3. Confirmed pmxcfs is stopped on all 3
  4. systemctl start pve-cluster
  5. systemctl start corosync
  6. Confirmed pmxcfs is running on all 3
This still does not get my cluster nodes working again. Any ideas or suggestions on how to proceed?

Here is the output from pvecm status:

Hello,
Did you managed to solve it?
If not, Please provide the output of the following cmds from the known working node and one of the working nodes:
Bash:
~# corosync-cfgtool -n
~# cat /etc/pve/.members
~# cat /etc/hosts

Also, Verify the ssh access between the nodes using the IP on hosts file.
