I recently booted up my forth cluster member (I do not keep it running all the time but wanted to update it) and realized I saw the following services having failed succeeding a run of "systemctl --failed".

$ sudo systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● pve-firewall.service loaded failed failed Proxmox VE firewall
● pve-guests.service loaded failed failed PVE guests
● pve-ha-crm.service loaded failed failed PVE Cluster HA Resource Manager Daemon
● pve-ha-lrm.service loaded failed failed PVE Local HA Resource Manager Daemon
● pvestatd.service loaded failed failed PVE Status Daemon

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
5 loaded units listed.

All the services could be manually started except the pve-guests service. However, I do want to understand why this is happening or what I can do to repair it.

When I ran a status on each service they mostly showed these errors:

May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[3] failed: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: Unable to load access control list: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: Connection refused
May 10 08:02:02 pve-x3650-m3 pve-firewall[1652]: ipcc_send_rec[3] failed: Connection refused

Of course each service has there service name where pve-firewall is.

Never mind it is fixed! I had a mistake in my host's /etc/hosts file that needed to be corrected. Now all is good.
