New server, keep same name

[bfish2]

Hello all. I find myself with a failed server (proxmox02) and have bought a new server which i want to install into the cluster, using the same name (proxmox02).

I have removed the failed node from the cluster. I'm finding lots of posts saying it's unwise to use the same name on the new server but am not finding anything on HOW to safely do that. Is it even possible? If so, how?

TIA

Hello,

if you did it as described in the docs: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_remove_a_cluster_node
there shouldn't be a problem adding the node with same name like the removed one.

Seems to have worked fine! Thank you so much @fba !
