Hi all

I have been struggling to resolve this issue for ages and was hoping you guys might have some insight.

9 node cluster running PVE7

Console redirection works fine if you logged into the node hosting the workload BUT not working across nodes.

This is what I see in the syslog:

Jul 24 16:46:11 proxmox-host-08 systemd-logind[4206]: New session 91 of user root.
Jul 24 16:46:11 proxmox-host-08 systemd[1]: Started Session 91 of user root.
Jul 24 16:46:12 proxmox-host-08 sshd[3851716]: Received disconnect from IP port 50504:11: disconnected by user <-- I think this is the issue

As suggested in other threads on similar issues:

I have dbl checked and confirmed permissions for /etc/ is set to 755 for all nodes

I have dbl checked and confirmed pub keys for all nodes loaded across all nodes and have literally tested every nodes from every other node and it completes handshake successfully and connects every time.

Thoughts on cause of disconnect?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Did you harden your ssh in any way?
You need root login permitted and allow receiving (and sending) of environment variable LC_PVE_TICKET.

No

Can confirm root login permitted & both variables have been set correctly:

Issue still persists :(
 
do you have some custom .bashrc or .profile config or something similar? firewall rules ? different mtu settings?
