Hello,

Try to reboot your system, then check out of new node name ls /etc/pve/nodes if changed.

pve-04 pve-05

====
root@pve-04:/etc/pve/nodes/pve-05# ls
lrm_status lxc openvz priv pve-ssl.key pve-ssl.pem qemu-server

Worked after reboot?

If you want as a backup you can copy this files to another path, but if worked you can delete them


If it doesn't work, make sure you've followed all the steps

-- Stop all services Proxmox PVE
# systemctl stop pve*

-- Edit the Hostname and hosts
# vi /etc/hostname
# vi /etc/hosts

-- Then restart your System
# reboot

-- After reboot should all services start again
# mv /etc/pve/nodes/OldHostName/lxc/* /etc/pve/nodes/NewHostName/lxc/
# mv /etc/pve/nodes/OldHostName/qemu-server/* /etc/pve/nodes/NewHostName/qemu-server/

-- Then reload PVE GUI

@matrix Merci
i could restore a backup without problem then i did just
delete /etc/pve/nodes/OldHostName/
# rm -rf pve-05/

but i have to confess missed the last line you wrote...
