I added a 4th node to a cluster this AM. There were no errors and it added successfully. The cluster looks good, but I can't see the node in HA.

I have rebooted all 4 front ends with no change. The 4th node shows up in the GUI, it seems to only be related to HA. All 4 nodes are on the same packages and kernel.

Semms you have 2 node with the same name 'bunkcloud3 '?

Not that I see? I see 4 different nodes with different names.

Check /etc/hosts, or in /etc/pve/cluster.cfg - maybe wrong name is there.

/etc/hosts on each node looks correct.

root@bunkcloud1:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.211.45.10 bunkcloud1.ccs.com bunkcloud1 pvelocalhost

root@bunkcloud2:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.211.45.11 bunkcloud2.ccs.com bunkcloud2 pvelocalhost

root@bunkcloud3:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.211.45.12 bunkcloud3.ccs.com bunkcloud3 pvelocalhost

root@bunkcloud4:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.211.45.13 bunkcloud4.ccs.com bunkcloud4 pvelocalhost

I have looked at all of our inhouse clusters and 5-10 out in the field and none of them have /etc/pve/cluster.cfg.
