Hi all, i am facing a strange issue, after using having a proxmox pc for my self hosted app I decided to play around and create a cluter to dive deeper into the HA topics, i dowloaded the latest ISO and build up a cluster from scratch. My Cluster works, i can see every node, my ceph storage says everythng is ok. Managers works on all 3 node, metadata is ok on all 3 nodes but Monitor started only on the first node. When i try to make it start on the others node, nothing happen.
This is the syslog of the second node

I have no specific hint, but only a non-ceph-specific one: make sure that /etc/hosts has identical content on all nodes.

This must work on each node and generate exactly the same output:
Code:
for HOST in pve pve2 pve3 ; do ssh root@$HOST hostname -f; whoami; done


Disclaimer: I am not using Ceph.

Btw: "Proxmox Datacenter Manager" might be the wrong forum...?
