Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with restoring a node in my Proxmox cluster and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I accidentally removed this node from the cluster and now I can't seem to restore it back.
I've tried a few different methods, but nothing seems to be working. The node isn't showing up in the web interface, and I'm not sure what else I can do to get it back up and running.
If anyone has any experience with this issue or any suggestions on how I can resolve it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your help!
 
Hi,
it is unfortunately not supported to add a node back to a cluster. I suggest you move/backup all data from the node and then do as the docs mention:
If, for whatever reason, you want this server to join the same cluster again, you have to:
  • do a fresh install of Proxmox VE on it,
  • then join it, as explained in the previous section.
