hello all,
I am really hoping someone can help me figure this out. I've tried reviewing the forums for pve-cluster.service failing and no webgui but nothing would work so I'm posting.
I'll try and post as much relevant info in this first post.
When the server reboots...before I get to the login I get this string of failed to starts.

I can then login to the server but not to the webgui. I can then SSH in from my other computer and pull the below info.
output for ip a
output for hostname
My /etc/hosts shows the below
output for systemctl status pve-cluster.service
output for journal ctl -b0 -u pve-cluster.service
output during pveversion -v
output qm list
