Hi all,
I am looking for some guidance on the clean removal of a node from Proxmox cluster.
What I did so far:
- Created cluster named 'Test-PVE'
- Added three nodes (proxmoxVE01-03) to the cluster
- Verified cluster manager status and nodes via 'pvecm status' and 'pvecm nodes' -> all three nodes were shown
- Created zfs pool on all three nodes via Datacenter > Storage > Add > ZFS > added all three nodes
- Removed the third node (proxmoxVE03) from the cluster using
- Checked cluster manager status and nodes again -> only the two remaining nodes were shown
According to Proxmox documentation, that should be all that's required. My Datacenter also only shows the two remaining nodes, as expected.
However, I still see the old node (proxmoxVE03) under /etc/pve/nodes/.
I also noticed that my /etc/pve/storage.cfg still lists proxmoxVE03 as a node for ZFS pool. In Datacenter > Storage > ZFS pool > proxmoxVE03 is not shown.
There might still be some more leftovers.
Some more context:
- v9.0.3
- HA is disabled
- Removed node did not host any VMs or replication tasks
Is there an additional cleanup step needed to completely remove the leftovers?
Thanks and best wishes,
McShadow
