Hi,
After reinstalling PVE2 on the node, it did not connect to the cluster PVE1. The current node PVE1 is not making a vm copy, the message is as in the picture.

How to reset or delete a cluster on PVE1 without stopping the vm.
 
What is the output of pvecm status? (Please post in [CODE]...[/CODE]-Tags).

Probably you have a Cluster without Quorum. Search for "pvecm expeced" for a tempory workaround and for "quorum device" for a solution.

Best regards
 
Since your showing a permission denied - I assume its certificate-linked
Have you issued a pvecm updatecerts since rejoining PVE1/2?

Also maybe see here.
 
When I try to run shell I get the message:
TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/termproxy 5900 --path /nodes/pve --perm Sys.Console -- /bin/login -f root' failed: exit code 1

How can I make a vm backup in this situation? This is a priority. If I succeed, I will reinstall PVE1 again.
 
When I try to run shell I get the message:
TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/termproxy 5900 --path /nodes/pve --perm Sys.Console -- /bin/login -f root' failed: exit code 1
I am not sure where you got this message. Debugging your situation should take place as user "root" at the local console - either physically or via IPMI/Drac/Amt/Serial... Edit: or ssh of course, if the network is available...

What about the output of "pvecm status" I'd asked for?

Almost sure you have a lost-quorum situation. Don't know what cluster setup you have corosync, storage, ceph, qdevice etc. Search the forums as applicable. You'll find what you need.

If you are really frustrated; see this, it may even help you.
