I have only one node that is not connected to the cluster.
I followed the instructions
I set a new name in
  • nano /etc/hosts
  • nano /etc/hostname
  • nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
Code:
reboot
Next, through the MC, I entered the /etc/pve/nodes/ but copy (F5) didn't work. In the proxmox web interface, I saw all VMs/LXCs under the old node (old hostname) marked with a question mark. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't know why copying doesn't work in MC.
 
Have you tried just copying them normally via cp -r? (as described in the tutorial you linked) What exactly are you using to copy the files and what error message do you get?
