hi everyone, I removed a node from the cluster, we regularly on the gui I don't see it anymore. With pvecms status or nodes only the active ones appear to me. Looking at HA, however, I still see this:

Deleted folder / etc / pve / nodes / pve2 (node deleted). Waiting of about 30 mn for pve-ha-lrm and verification of HA. The node is no longer visible

Good point @frankz. I kind of have the same issue - after removing a node, all kinds of traces are left of this node across the cluster config:
  • /etc/pve/nodes/[nodename] --> so apparently, we can safely delete this manually?
  • /etc/pve/priv/known_hosts --> still contains entries from removed node
  • /etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys --> still contains keys from removed node
  • Replication jobs to the removed node --> need to remove these via console using 'pvesr delete [JobID] -force'
  • ...more?
Why isn't all this 'cruft' removed automagically upon the removal of a node from the cluster?

Thanks for the info, in fact when I followed the gida and removed the node I got the same message in the console. However I manually removed pve2 from etc but not the ssh keys. At the moment, looking at all the cfg, the quorum is correct and the number of nodes the same. Thanks so much for your feedback.
