Proxmox 2 nodes simple cluster

[drfoliberg]

I am currently trying to setup a 2 nod cluster so I can can migrate my vm's and close a phycial server without interruption.

I had a first proxmox environnement running mutiple vm's but now I can't get another node to join a cluster.

I read http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster but I am runnning into strange problems with the node.

root@tmp:~# pvecm add 192.168.2.200 -force
root@192.168.2.200's password: 
unable to copy ssh ID

Also, cman does not seem to be working properly.
Both

/etc/init.d/cman start

and

service cman start

return nothing (even when replacing start by anything else).

Both servers are fully updated:

I tried to configure the cluster, but reinstalled the slave node and I also don't understand how to remove the configuration of the cluster to have a fresh configuration as

root@montmoinfo:~# pvecm nodes
Node  Sts   Inc   Joined               Name
   1   M     88   2013-07-15 23:37:12  montmoinfo
   2   X      0                        tmp

if I try to delete the old node

root@montmoinfo:~# pvecm delnode tmp
cluster not ready - no quorum?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

as workaround, set expected votes manually to get quorate:

# pcecm expected 1

Thanks !
I reduce to quorum and could remove the old node and reinstall the os of the node and add it back from a frech install.
