PVE Version: 8.2.4

Hi,

I have setup 3 Proxmox PVE servers (all with identical hardware) running PVE 8.2.4

After setting them up (fresh installs, nothing else done other than check for updates) I created Linux VLAN on each server in the 192.168.*.* address space - these networks all came up fine.

I then created a new Cluster on the first server - this went fine.

However, everything just goes to hell and back as soon as I try to join the other two servers to the cluster.

First I get: permission denied - invalid PVE ticket (401) errors
Then I get locked out of the web GUI for the node I am trying to join to the cluster
Then I get this error on the Cluster host: '/etc/pve/nodes/TPGPM2/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist! (500)

On the node which fails I see the following error for pveproxy:
/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key: failed to load local private key (key_file or key) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/APIServer/AnyEvent.pm line 2025.

I cannot seem to find an answer. I tried deleting the keys so I can do `pvecm updatecerts -f` but I get permission denied when I try to delete the keys (even though I am root).

To be clear there is a public IP on each server (these are in a datacenter) and the private IP on the VLAN is specifically for cluster and ceph

Any help fixing this would be appreciated, I have reinstalled 3 times now and keep facing the same issue.

After further investigation this seems to have been an issue with the vlan configuration, I am reinstalling with the correct vlan configuration and marking thread as solved. if I still have issues after the reinstall, I will re-open.
