I see how to `pvecm delnode remoteIP` but I don't see how on remoteIP to add it to another cluster with another corosync cluster_name. It can zero everything in /etc/pve as there are no guests. Tx.
 
Hi,

if your have no Guest(VM/Container) on this host you can use

pvecm add <newcluster ip> --force

to join the other cluster
 
well, that almost worked:

root@pvebak:~# pvecm add 149.59.225.34 --force
trying to aquire cfs lock 'file-corosync_conf' ... OK
node pvebak already defined
copy corosync auth key
stopping pve-cluster service
backup old database
generating node certificates
merge known_hosts file
restart services
successfully added node 'pvebak' to cluster.
root@pvebak:~# pvecm nodes
