change proxmox main cluster server

[djsami]

Hello

There are 8 servers, the main server, pve1, is faulty, how can we change it without breaking the cluster?


Thansk.

Regarding the PVE cluster: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_remove_a_cluster_node

There are no "main" nodes in a PVE cluster. They are all equal.

If you have other things as well, like Ceph, you will have to do a bit more. But we would need some more information on your cluster in order to give the correct hints.

There is no server Ceph

the whole system is running as 7.2.4 and all of them are running local disk.

What other details do you need?

Then you should be fine. Move all the stuff that is still needed off from the node (VMs, CTs, ...) and follow the guide on how to remove it from the cluster.

So, is it okay if I add a new server with the same name as our deleted server?

 

[aaron]

Yes. Follow the guide and you should be okay.

Good morning, sorry but I have a failure with next version 7.1, it was working fine and I had installed two virtual machines on the server with a very good capacity of 62 GB in RAM and 8 TB on disk with raid 5, when performing an update and then an upgrade which was my surprise that I could not connect to the normal user of the interface of port 80 and less to 7071 of administration, I checked the services and it indicated that the device had no disk space, but I realized that it did not raise the pveproxy because it could not find two files that would be pve-ssl.key and pve-ssl.pem or pm, when entering as root in /etc/pve there was nothing, I don't know if it was an error when updating, which overwrote the new version of proxmox 7 in the /etc/pve directory, if you know how to recover this directory I would appreciate it, otherwise I will have to install everything again. Thanks a lot

Please open a new thread for a new problem. If you do so, first check if the pve-cluster service is running as it provides the fuse filesystem which is mounted in /etc/pve
systemctl status pve-cluster.service
