how to adjust node's location in a cluster view tree

[Ting]

Hi,

as per attached picture, I want to move "Proxmox6" node to bottom of cluster tree, I adjusted ID in conf file /etc/pve/corosync.conf, the new IDs only shows up in datacenter cluster view, and in datacenter summary, ID did not take effect. How can I move this node down to the bottom?

thanks a lot.

To rename a node you have to change its hostname and if its in a cluster then change its configuration in corosync:

Please take a look at Renaming a PVE node for the proper way to rename a node.
For safely editing the corosync config please also see the steps at PVECM - editing the corosync.conf (which is also linked on the page above).

Thank you, the link to edit corosync.conf did help me a lot, but I did not rename node, I am afraid some strange thing may happen.

Well I am afraid so too
Renaming the node is not really optional in this regard...

I have not tried it but I believe if you change the node name now your configuration should be recoverable. To be sure, you can also revisit the corosync.conf afterwards and increment the config_version number. That should tell corosync to (re-)synchronize.
