Hello everyone,

I'm folowing the: Remove a Cluster Node but when trying to delete Node 1 (powered off as well) from Node 2 I receive this:

Bash: 
root@proxmox2:~# pvecm delnode 192.168.1.4

400 Parameter verification failed.

node: invalid format - value does not look like a valid node name

pvecm delnode <node>



Bash: 
root@proxmox2:~# pvecm nodes

         2          1 192.168.1.5 (local)


As you can see, it appears the node names are the IP addresses, so why are the names IP addresses if that is an invalid format and how can I delete Node 1 (192.168.1.4)?

May you try to put the IP between double quotes maybe it might not accept the IP format?

Bash: 
pvecm delnode "192.168.1.4"

Unfortunately that did not work:

Bash: 
root@proxmox2:~# pvecm delnode "192.168.1.4"
400 Parameter verification failed.
node: invalid format - value does not look like a valid node name

pvecm delnode <node>
 
Please post the output of the following commands:

Bash: 
~ cat /etc/hostname
~ cat /etc/hosts
~ pveversion -v
~ pvecm status

Node 1 (192.168.1.4) is powered off per the instructions to remove it from the cluster, do you need it powered back on?
 
pvecm delnode <Nr>
or
pvecm delnode <nodename>
Should work. I think option #1 works if the node is powered of, option #2 works if the node is still powered on.
 
Have you tried pvecm delnode <nodename> the nodename should be the output of command hostname
 
I might be a little late to the party, however:

I ran in the same issue, but figured it out. You need to use the name which is used in `/etc/corosync/corosync.conf`.

Code: 
root@debian10-test:~# cat /etc/corosync/corosync.conf
logging {
  debug: off
  to_syslog: yes
}

nodelist {
  node {
    name: debian10-test
    nodeid: 2
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 192.168.1.211
  }
  node {
    name: server-01
    nodeid: 1
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 192.168.1.6
  }
}

  provider: corosync_votequorum
