Hey guys. Im having an issue that after i tried to change the node/hostname name i can no longer acces the webGUI. I did it using this tutorial video. after the system reboot i found out foulder /etc/pve/nodes didnt exist, it was just deleted. luckily i still had backup of the original /etc/pve/nodes/<old-node-name>. So i created dir /etc/pve/nodes than copy the backup to /etc/pve/nodes than i renamed it to the new node name. In the end it looked like this /etc/pve/nodes/<new-node-name> with the original files. but even with the old node dir i couldnt acces the web gui. I would really appreciate for every suggestion i get.
I've tested this here. Simply rename the node under
LXC and qemu-server cannot be moved, therefore only the contents:
After you moved everything, you can delete the old node with:
/etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. After a reboot you have 2 nodes under /etc/pve/nodes/. The oldnamed and the newnamed. Now move all the files from old to new. Example: change nodename/hostname pve to pve1: (the directory can't be moved)
Code:
cd /etc/pve/nodes/pve1
mv ../pve/* .
mv: cannot move '../pve/qemu-server' to './qemu-server': Directory not empty
Code:
mv ../pve/qemu-server/* qemu-server/.
Code:
rm -rf /etc/pve/nodes/pve
