Hi,
this should be not so difficult.
First make a backup of /etc/pve/cluster.cfg (and take a look at the file).
use "pveca -l" to show cluster.
delete a node from the cluster:

pveca -d ID

after that, go on this node and make this to a new master:

pveca -c

Add other nodes (which aren't in the first cluster) to the new master (on the node):

pveca -a -h IP_of_new_master

This should be all.

Hi,
"pveca -m" is wrong when the node isn't in a cluster.
"pveca -c" is the right command. I will edit the posting before.
