[SOLVED] Cant remove died server from my cluster

[LkS45]

Hello guys!

My cluster is just with 3 server, but one (h62) is full dead, i need to replace it. The problem is, the proxmox cant allow me to remove the died one, this still on my server datacenter of web gui:



But i cant remove the h62 on shell, cause h62 dont existis on the nodes list:



How can i safe remove the 62 without destroing my cluster?

Anytime we've had that issue running

rm -r /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>

Did the trick. If your worried about it messing things up, you can ways backup that folder first, or move it to another folder instead, so you can always move it back. Refresh your browser and the GUI should reflect that change.

Can i use the same VM IDs from the died server? Or i will get problems with that?
I guess thats safe, because the vms id/configs is located local at each server, but im not sure...

Yes, you can (re)use VM ID's that were previously on the died server as long as they don't already exist on the cluster. As long as they are unique you should be good.
