Pve-cluster no starts

[marciglesias17]

Hello,

2 days ago, one of my server of my cluster, crashed, when accessing the machine through KVM, I saw that there was no service started, nor SSH, I restarted the SSH and connected, I try to restart all proxmox services, pve-cluster give this error:

Corosync started, pve-proxy started, but the disconnected node appears in the GUI. Now all VM started manually with qm start ID.

How i can solve this?


Thanks,

hi,

you can check ps aux | grep pmxcfs and kill the process with kill -9 PID followed by systemctl restart pve-cluster.

if it fails delete /var/lib/pve-cluster/.pmxcfs.lockfile and try again
