Hi,

I removed a node from a cluster with two nodes. Now there is only one node in my cluster.
At removing my node i got this message:
Code: 
cluster not ready - no quorum? (500)

Now there are in /etc/pve/nodes/ two nodes including my node which i removed.
Is this normal?

I want to add a new node to my cluster but my "Join Information" Button is grey. I cannot click on it.
In CLI i get this:
Code: 
pvesh get /cluster/config/join
unable to read certificate from '/etc/pve/nodes/node02/pve-ssl.pem'

Can I remove the already deleted Node in /etc/pve/nodes/?
Or what is the best way to add a new node to my cluster?

Is it possible to add a node with same hostname and IP to my cluster which I removed before?

Greetings,
Robert
 
To add a node that already exists to a cluster you can use the --force flag
Code: 
pvecm add <hostname> --force
 
To add a node that already exists to a cluster you can use the --force flag


Code:

pvecm add <hostname> --force
Click to expand...

Do I have to add each node to the cluster like this?
 
You only need --force when re-adding a node that was previously removed.
 
Thank you.

But what I want to add an other node.
My "Join Information" Button is grey.
What can I do to change this?

Is your cluster quorate again? Please provide the output of pvecm status. If your cluster is not quorate you will have to fix that first before joining new nodes to the cluster.
 
That is my status.

Is

what you described?
 
Are you connected to the host which is part of the cluster or the node you want to join to the cluster? Only the node which is already part of the cluster can provide the Join Information, which you then use on the node you want to join to the cluster.
 
I am connected to the Node which is part of the cluster.
Curios is Create Cluster and Join Cluster are not grey.
In the Cluster Node list there are two nodes.
But you can read "Standalone node - no cluster defined"
 
If that is the case, than you messed up the cluster state somewhere. From which host was the pvecm status you provided?

Please post from both nodes:
Code: 
systemctl status pve-cluster.service corosync.service
cat /etc/pve/corosync.conf
cat /etc/corosync/corosync.conf
cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/hosts

Okay, so apart from node02 still showing up in the corosync config, the rest looks good. Make sure to stop running guests and create backup.
Then, please try to run
Code: 
pvecm delnode node02
pvecm status
on node01 and post the output.

If that does not remove the lingering node in the corosync config, you will have to follow the procedure as described here [0] before trying to rejoin the node to the cluster.
