Corosync already exists

[Calanon]

I want to add a new node to my cluster. The cluster already has 9 nodes on it and they were added without issue. The node I want to add is a fresh installation and I have checked that all the pve services are running correctly.

When I log onto node 1 and run:

pvecm add 10.10.10.10

I get this:

detected the following error(s):
* authentication key '/etc/corosync/authkey' already exists
* cluster config '/etc/pve/corosync.conf' already exists
* this host already contains virtual guests
* corosync is already running, is this node already in a cluster?!

How is this possible?

So I tried:

pvecm add 10.10.10.10 --force

and I now get:

Request addition of this node
500 can't open '/etc/corosync/authkey' - No such file or directory

I don't understand what is going on here. Can someone please help?

`pvecm add` needs to be run on the new node, which you try to add to the cluster (see `man pvecm`)

I guess you tried to run it on the existing node - and with the second run (with --force) you kicked one of your nodes out of the cluster (the one you ran the command on)

please post the output of `pvecm status` (on the node you ran the commands on and one other node in the cluster)
