Hi everyone.
Sorry I made a very stupid mistake. I thought I removed all machines, but I didn't and removed a node from my cluster.

The node is still visibile in the gui showing one offline machine.
It is correctly removed in the "pvecm nodes".

Is it safe to remove the directory from /etc/pve/nodes and delete the line in .vmlist?

Thank you for the help and sorry for bothering everyone with a failure resulting from haste and incorrect handling of the manual.
 
If you're sure that you don't need the CT config anymore, you can delete the directory of that node in /etc/pve/nodes.
It probably wouldn't hurt to make a backup before doing so though.
 
Thank you for the quick reply and the awesome support for this great product.

The CT was just a testcontainer.
Do I have to delete the directory on all nodes or just one?
What about the .vmlist file? Manual edit?

Thank you!
 
/etc/pve is a filesystem that is shared between all nodes in the cluster, so deleting it on one node is enough.
You don't have to manually edit the .vmlist file.
