Remove node from (new) Non-active Cluster

[Marathon]

Hello,

I have installed 2 Proxmox nodes where one host has already some VM's on it. My idea was to use them in a separate way but while reading I thought I might stay with separate nodes.

I have created a cluster on my node1 and did not add node2 to it yet, I got some message about some quorum 500 error and thought it might be better to keep them separate as my setup is not sharing storage as well.

Now I have a non-active cluster on node1 which I want to remove and I wonder if I can do this without losing my VM's.

On my node1 the following is the status:

# pvecm status
Cannot initialize CMAP service

Ideas are very welcome.

Thank you

For people that have the same issue or issues at all with clusters, there is another way to remove your node safely from a cluster (of not using shared storage)
