Hello,

I run Proxmox on a two-node cluster, with a third to be added soon. I recently noticed that I am having problems accessing both nodes from one or the other. If I am in GUI of node A, I can only enter the shell of node B, everything else timeout (for example Disk configuration) - and vice versa. Both nodes are configured with a separate network for cluster traffic and GUI access on separate dedicated NIC's. Ping works both ways on both networks.

Both nodes are running the same versions:

Code:
proxmox-ve: 7.0-2 (running kernel: 5.11.22-3-pve)

I can not find anything wrong in the log files and all services are running correctly. Any idea of where I should look next?
 
UPDATE:

I am not sure, but there might've been a problem with cluster communications. Problem got worse when I were doing some network config and cluster communication went down, even though pinging worked. Restarted nodes again to restor quorum and now it seems to work like normal again.
