/etc/pve/nodes delete - What should i do?

[DCOGamer]

Hello,

I won't comment on how it happened, but it happend. ;D

In my proxmox I used the command

rm -r /etc/pve/nodes

Was there anything left to save? The VM's are all still running but they are not displayed on the web interface. I also can't access the VM's via the terminal.

I am curious about the reactions ;D

If you have major problems with your Proxmox VE host, e.g. hardware issues, it could be helpful to just copy the pmxcfs database file /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db and move it to a new Proxmox VE host. On the new host (with nothing running), you need to stop the pve-cluster service and replace the config.db file (needed permissions 0600). Second, adapt /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts according to the lost Proxmox VE host, then reboot and check. (And don’t forget your VM/CT data)
