Cluster Node lost connection

I have a 2-Node Cluster with a Qdevice. It worked fine for quite a long time, however, suddenly the VMs on Node 2 get a "?" and the node "unkown".

BUT I can access the VMs/Shell/disks/zfs/EVERYTHING of Node 2from the webgui of Node 1.
I already rebooted the nodes.
I can ping node 2 from 1 and vice versa.

Node 1:
Code:
service corosync status

Jun 25 15:07:03 supermicro corosync[103887]:   [KNET  ] rx: Packet rejected from 192.168.50.21:5>
Strange: it tells me "192.168.50.21", but I changed (after the error) the ip of node 2 to 192.168.0.21 (of course on node 1 as well)

Again Node 1:

Node 2 first had here 192.168.50.21 (which was wrong, but the webgui didn't let me choose another one). I changed it AFTER the error.

And here Node 2:

Why is there still 192.168.50.21?

Any ideas?
 
Update: When I change everything of Node 2 on Node 1 back to "192.168.50.21" I get a connection somewhat,
but corosync service status give:

Code:
host: 2 has no active links
But that is not true.

Node 2 tells me now "cannot initialize cmap service" and corosync service failes because

Code:
[quorum] crit: quorum initialize failed: 2

and node 1 has no active links (again: not true)

Update 2: When I change Node 1 to 192.168.50.12 then the cluster tries to connect, but corosync.service on node 1 restarts every second due to failing.

Changed everything to another vlan (40) an now it works again. A mystery.
 
okay, after a reboot I get error 595.

I noticed that here:

/etc/pve/.members

the IP is still wrong:

{
"nodename": "supermicro",
"version": 5,
"cluster": { "name": "Cluster", "version": 10, "nodes": 2, "quorate": 1 },
"nodelist": {
"sm2": { "id": 2, "online": 0, "ip": "192.168.50.21"},
"supermicro": { "id": 1, "online": 1, "ip": "192.168.50.12"}
}
}

The IP should be 192.168.40.21 and 192.168.40.12

How can I change that?
