delete node from cluster proxmox problem

[rootnetworks]

Hello,

I messed up a node so I need to format the node so want to delete the node from cluster and do a clean proxmox install then join the cluster again.
When I search from Google https://cyberbakery.net/how-to-remove-a-proxmox-cluster-node/

Are the following 3 true?
because I want to join as the same IP address and node name after a clean proxmox installed

Thank you

Step 3: Turn off the node that you want to remove​

Be careful, as every step beyond this point will be irreversible. Following are some of the key points to keep in mind.​

• Do not restart the node marked for removal.
• Don’t re-assign the local IP address of the removed node to a new node
• Never assign the name of the removed node to a new node

Hi,

first of see also this [1]

The first point of not restarting the node is somewhat ok. I'm guessing the worry is that if you restart the node, it might try to reconnect to the cluster.

The other two points sound wrong. It has been a while since I replaced a node, but I used the same IP & node name.

I will disconnect the cable and reinstall.
Thank you so much
