Removing a faulty node from the cluster

[RBretzel]

Hi,
I have the following situation in my cluster: A server is no longer repairable and is now marked with a red X in the UI or with ‘pvecm nodes’ I can only see the two nodes that are left in the cluster.
How can I remove the denied node from the cluster?

Thank you,
I have already read through the document before I posted the question here.
The configs are customised as described.
I have already stopped the VMs on both servers and restarted the services.
The dead node is still visible in the UI.

The dead node is still visible in the UI.

That information was not present in the first post.

I have the same issue. I deleted a node but it's still visible in the GUI. Did you solve it or re-install is the only solution which is bonkers!!

Check if there are still leftover files in /etc/pve/nodes/<deleted-node>.
As long as there are files still in there, the node will show up in the UI.
Please make a backup of the files before you delete them, just to be safe!

i knew already, needed it also two weeks ago.

with ‘pvecm nodes’ I can only see the two nodes

pvecm nodes always only show active nodes... i do not know why.
