'Rejoined' node does not have new disk configuration

[nathanc1]

Hello-

I have a cluster, in which some nodes need to be reconfigured. I followed the path of:

-disconnect the node from the network.
-pvecm delnode 'nodename'
-reinstall pve on the node
-node has to have the same IP and hostname.
-put node back on network
-rejoin the cluster.

Everything seems to work....node comes back into cluster UI with green check....but:

-The old disk configuration is displayed with grey question marks.

After searching around, I also tried to remove the node's folder from etc/pve/node after pvecm delnode, but the same result.

Is there a way to get the node back in the cluster with the same hostname and IP?

Thanks.

Update:

I manually edited etc/pve/storage.cfg. Could it be so easy? So far so good.

You will likely run into other issues, for example with migration from one node to another.
i think you must change the name and IP when reinstalling proxmox.

I think you are correct. I can't seem to detach hard drives from a VM on the node in question.

And I can't connect via console. Guess it is time to revise the cluster!

I'm sure it is possible, just unknowable.
