Node showing ?

[Joshuam08]

Hi all,

I have just setup a cluster with two nodes. If I login to my PVE01 node, both nodes show in the cluster with green ticks (ie working). However, if I login to the PVE02 node, PVE01 shows as a grey question mark (same with the LXC on that node), but PVE02 has a green tick.

I've tried restarting pvedaemon and pvestatd on both hosts with no change. When I am logged into PVE02, even though it shows as ?, I can still view LXC resource being used, access shell etc on that node.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Just guessing: make sure that name resolution works correctly. Usually by a full blown DNS server (possibly overkill) or (simpler) by maintaining a consistent /etc/hosts, containing all host names and addresses of all hosts. That file should be identical on all hosts.

"ssh nameofpve1" + "ssh nameofpve2" must work on both nodes without asking for a password.

"pvestatd" is important. Check it on both machines with "systemctl status pvestatd.service". Already done...


Sidenote: a cluster with only two nodes will not work reliably. Search for "Quorum Device"...
