hey all,

I'm trying to delete an old node from my cluster and im getting some permission denied warnings. any assistance would be much appreciated!

root@proxmox-4:/etc/pve/nodes# rm -rf proxmox-3
rm: cannot remove 'proxmox-3/pve-ssl.pem': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove 'proxmox-3/openvz': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove 'proxmox-3/lxc': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove 'proxmox-3/qemu-server': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove 'proxmox-3/priv': Permission denied
root@proxmox-4:/etc/pve/nodes#

figured it out

needed to set quorum to 1

pvecm expected 1

There cluster at the point of needing to be destroyed had only two nodes in it.
Could this be why I am seeing problems - I am trying again on test by the letter - but I did see both those guides.
