[SOLVED] cannot delete vm

[holest]

Hello!

I have a vm that i cannot delete. In my cluster i had 4 nodes, but i had to remove one from it, i had a vm inside it. I didn't need the vm inside it, so i just deleted the node.
Now i can't remove both the node and the vm from web gui.

• the remove button is greyed out
• If i try to migrate it: "Connection error 595: No route to host"
• if i try to remove the disks of the vm: "Cannot remove image, a guest with VMID '103' exists! You can delete the image from the guest's hardware pane" (btw the L letter is missing from panel word, or is it missing only at me)
• i cannot login to the node, because i already removed is from cluster, so i cannot remove vm config from there

What could i do?

Thanks
Máté

Hello, do you use replication and HA?

 

[holest]

No for replication and yes for HA, but none of my VM-s are in the resources

You need to properly remove the old node from the cluster.
Did you have carrefully read the post about it? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_remove_a_cluster_node

 

[holest]

well yes i removed the node with delnode
now if i try to do it again:

and in status:

so yes i already deleted it but, i understood this line:

Move all virtual machines from the node. Make sure you have no local data or backups you want to keep, or save them accordingly. In the following example we will remove the node hp4 from the cluster.

that if i don't want to keep my vm, then i can leave it there

 

[Stereo973]

Ok right,

So try to remove the VM conf directly on one serveur (make a backup of file before deleting).
The conf are located on: For container: /etc/pve/lxc/ for VM: /etc/pve/qemu-server/

 

[holest]

but there is nothing about vm 103 in other nodes lxc or qemu-server folders.
i only found data about px02 and vm 103:

/etc/pve/nodes

is it safe to delete a folder and all of it's data?

if i want to put a node back to the cluster i already had inside it and removed, can i give the same IP and hostname as before or should i change these things?

 

[Stereo973]

I have removed an old node on my cluster on /etc/pve/nodes/ without any problems

 

[Stereo973]

if i want to put a node back to the cluster i already had inside it and removed, can i give the same IP and hostname as before or should i change these things?

According to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_remove_a_cluster_node
It's unsafe to put back a node on the cluster with the same hostname and/or ip

ok, well, i solved it.

1. deleted the config in /etc/pve/nodes/%nodename%/qemu-server/%borken_id.conf%
2. this one deleted it from all my nodes and removed the node and vm from web gui too

btw tested to, reinstall same machine same hostname same ip and put back to the same cluster, there was no problems yet

This fixed it for me aswell.
