that wiki page was easy to follow, thanks.

but of course I have a question.

from a regular prox install, /etc/hosts has ' pvelocalhost ' .

should that be put in the host file on the system installed from debian cd?

I assume so , but always wondered what pvelocalhost was for.

during install I added desktop environment .

that causes this issue:

root@fbc10 /etc # pvecm add   10.100.100.158
copy corosync auth key
stopping pve-cluster service
Stopping pve cluster filesystem: pve-cluster.
backup old database
Starting pve cluster filesystem : pve-cluster.
Starting cluster: 
   Checking if cluster has been disabled at boot... [  OK  ]
   Checking Network Manager... 
Network Manager is either running or configured to run. Please disable it in the cluster.
[FAILED]
cluster not ready - no quorum?

so before adding the node to cluster do this:

aptitude purge network-manager

in fact I'd do that right after installing a gui.

I was able to reboot and have the cluster work.

Oh, do we still install that? I guess that is not needed for 2.0.
