Stand Alone server showing 2 nodes

[jcyrus]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I recently switched my hypervisor to Proxmox and I was very much liking it, however, when I logged on today I was greeted with 2 nodes with 1 greyed out. I can no long start my vm. When I try I get a tls_process_server_certificate: certificate verify failed (596) error. I have rebooted the server but everything remains the same. Here is a pic of what my console looks like. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you rename the host after you installed it, or something similar?

 

[jcyrus]

Yes I did rename it.

In that case, have a look at /etc/pve/nodes. There will be a directory for the old and new name. In the old one, you should find the config file for the VM in the qemu-server directory. If you move that to the qemu-server directory of the new node, it should show up where you expect it.
Then try to move the directory of the old node away (don't delete it just yet).

I have a similar situation because I renamed the hostname of my machine just before I remembered that this will cause some trouble with Proxmox VE.
So my old hostname was: PVE01
My new hostname: pve01 --> which I changed back to PVE01 now, but I still have the problems described from the jcyrus above.

ls /etc/pve/nodes

pve01
PVE01

ls /etc/pve/nodes/pve01

lxc/
openvz/
priv/
pve-ssl.key
pve-ssl.pem
qemu-server/

All those directories listed in /etc/pve/nodes/pve01 are empty.

ls /etc/pve/nodes/PVE01

config
lrm_status
lxc/
openvz/
priv/
pveproxy-ssl.key
pveproxy-ssl.pem
pve-ssl.key
pve-ssl.pem
qemu-server/

The directories listed in /etc/pve/nodes/PVE01 are empty except qemu-server/, where all the config-files for my vm's are stored.

How can I get to a working WebUI again? Since I renamed the hostname back to it's old state, can I just reboot and everything works again?

I could resolve the problem.

After I did a backup of /etc/pve/ and /var/lib/rrdcached, I changed the hostname to the old one I used before. Restarting the services pveproxy and pve-cluster didn't work. The services restarted successfully but I still had the same problem of two nodes showing up in the UI. After I rebooted the host everything was like before.
