Hello,
I have a freshly installed Proxmox server that was just added to a newly made cluster, and now has its status shown as unknown and is not able to create VMs. However, all of its system information is fully functional, and I am able to SSH into it. I have tried checking pvestatd and nothing out of the ordinary appears. Running journalctl -eu pvestatd shows nothing special. Any advice?

Hi admlvntv,

Welcome to the forums!

These are screenshots taken of the pve02-side of things?

What is in both servers' /etc/hosts?
 
  • journalctl -b (upload as file here)
  • cat /etc/pve/corosync.conf on both nodes
  • pveversion -v
  • systemctl status corosync
  • cat /etc/network/interfaces
P.S.: Welcome to the Forum!
 
Hi all, thanks for the quick response and warm welcomes (:

The screenshots are taken for pve02, but using the webui of bioumass, as the pve02 web ui went down; unsure if that is expected behavior. The hosts file has nothing out of the ordinary, just the defaults.

I currently only have shell access to pve02, so I attached those in the meantime. I'll send a follow up post when I get the corosync.conf from bioumass. Note that bioumass is running 8.4.1 and pve02 is running 9.1.6; we are planning a migration.
