This is a Proxmox 2.3 server, installed last week, with all updates.

Code:
root@proxmox:~/# pvecm create CLUSTER
Restarting pve cluster filesystem: pve-cluster[dcdb] notice: wrote new cluster config '/etc/cluster/cluster.conf'
.
Starting cluster:
   Checking if cluster has been disabled at boot... [  OK  ]
   Checking Network Manager... [  OK  ]
   Global setup... [  OK  ]
   Loading kernel modules... FATAL: Error inserting configfs (/lib/modules/2.6.32-19-pve/kernel/fs/configfs/configfs.ko): Invalid module format
[FAILED]

Any idea what to do?
 
post your 'pveversion -v'

did your reboot after the installation of pve-kernel-2.6.32-19-pve: 2.6.32-95? post/check with 'uname -a'
 
Turns out a reboot was needed, because the running kernel wasn't the same as the one installed by apt-get recently.
So the cluster is running now on that node, thanks.

In the meantime we have made another cluster on a different node, is it possible to remove and recreate the cluster config on that?
I'm doing what the wiki says (stopping services and deleting configs), but it's not working, cman and apache are not starting, keys are missing, etc.

Is there a way to reset a cluster configuration to a clean state (like what you have after installation)?
The wiki could use a section like that.
