[SOLVED] Remove Node from Cluster

[Curt Hall]

I have a failed (hardware) node that won't boot and want to remove it from the cluster. I couldn't find anything here on the procedure for removing nodes from clusters.

Check this link https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_remove_a_cluster_node

the "bad" node (node 5) does not show in the list when I run
root@NorthProxmox1:~# pvecm nodes

Membership information

2 1 10.14.140.11
3 1 10.14.140.12
4 1 10.14.140.13

But it does show in the webgui:

This is expected. Since the node is already off and won't come back, you are at the step where you run pvecm delnode.

When type in what should be the node's name (not fir sure since the first command does not give it to me), I get this error:

root@NorthProxmox1:~# pvecm nodes

pvecm delnode <node>

Can you show the content of the /etc/pve/corosync.conf file?
