I removed 1 machine from the clsuter and and now all the otehr machines are logging cp_send_message failed

I also tried pvecm e 4

no effect?

I am using different versions of proxmox on the machines
3 are 2.3
2 are 3.0
I remove one of the 3.0 ones.
 
did /etc/init.d/pve-cluster restart
pvecm e 1
pmxcfs --local

I can login on the WEB UI now BUT if i try to remove that old node I get " cluster not ready no quorum"

Even though all the machines shwo:

I actually fixed this!
/etc/init.d/pve-cluster stop
On one of the machines I KILLED all the processes of cman (dlm_Controld and fenced) the others shutdown with /etc/init.d/cman stop
At that point all the other machines got really happy and came back online and synced!!!!

That machine needed a cman start and pve-cluster start and it was back too!

that was close!!!!
