Hello,

I have a very silly problem. I have enabled clustering over all my Proxmox servers but some of the hostnames are wrong. I went it and changed the hostnames via the hostname command but this does not seem to change them in proxmox.

Is there a command or a file to edit to change the hostname, so that my cluster is easier to understand.

Thanks,

take also a look on /etc/pve/cluster.cfg (on all nodes)
 
Hello Tom,

That worked perfectly. I edited it on the primary node and it fixed the issue.

I do have one other question though. I have enabled a remote NFS storage server on my primary node and its mounted on this server.

My problem is that I added a backup rule for a slave cluster server and it didn't run! I did notice though that the NFS mount didn't mount on the slave in the cluster but only the primary machine?

Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks,

you configured the NFS share via web interface as storage target?
 
Hello,

I went to my primary cluster manager, clicked on storage and added it within this location as a VZDump Backup location.

I then used the Backup tool in the GUI to add a backup schedule.

I checked it on the primary server and its mounted but NFS drive but not on any of the slaves..

No. Upgrade the FRs first, especially as youre moving from v5.3 so have the new clustering features to content with. Not so significant v6 -> v7, though I believe its considered best practice to have the FRs on the highest level in your cluster.
