I have a cluster that I created that I need to delete. Following previous steps found on these forums does not work for me. Particualrly:

Code:
systemctl stop pve-cluster corosync
pmxcfs -l
rm /etc/corosync/*
rm /etc/pve/corosync.conf
killall pmxcfs
systemctl start pve-cluster

When I issue 'systemctl stop pve-cluster corosync' I lose connection with Proxmox and I have to reboot the host. Is there an updated procedure for Proxmox 8?

Thanks
 
Not sure if you ever figured this out, but here is the only thing I got to work on Proxmox 8. Thought I'd post in case anyone else has this problem

Step 1. stop the cluster file system in
service pve-cluster stop
Step 2. start it again but forcing local mode
pmxcfs -l
Step 3. remove the cluster config
rm -f /etc/pve/cluster.conf /etc/pve/corosync.conf
rm -f /etc/cluster/cluster.conf /etc/corosync/corosync.conf
rm /var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkeyStep
4. stop the cluster file system again
systemctl stop pve-cluster
Step 5. (optional) you may have to delete the lockfile of the cluster filesystem:
rm /var/lib/pve-cluster/.pmxcfs.lockfile
Step 6. restart pve services (or reboot)
service pve-cluster start
service pvedaemon restart
service pveproxy restart
service pvestatd restart
