Hi,
I renamed a standalone node of a fresh proxmox installation, to fit the environment its in (servers here are named with specific system).
After the reboot I see the new node with storage under the Datacenter entry, but also the old name ('pve') together with a VM I started setting up (but maybe didnt finish, not sure).
I can't find a way to remove the node using the GUI, and all commands I can find aim at removing a node from a cluster - which I am not planning to run, since there is no other node in sight.
The commands always aim at removing a node from a cluster, which fails, cause I didnt set one up. (Corosync config not found)
Is there a way to fix this? Or will I have to set up a Cluster just for this?
(Also I admit, I am very fresh to proxmox, and didnt read everything I probably should have read)
---
As always - I found the solution, just after I asked:
https://tweenpath.net/remove-node-proxmox-cluster/
remove the directory (or move it away) from /etc/pve/nodes/*nodename*
Its apparently only a GUI issue.
I will still leave this thread, in case someone stumbles into the same issue.
