token already exists

[pavlos]

I have 3 hosts, pve4, pve5, and pve6. I was able to add pve4 (Remote ID 100), pve6 (Remote ID 600) but cannot add pve5, I get an error token already exists).
Is there a way to clear the token so I can add this host?
Is the Remote ID just some descriptive text? (eg. pve5 in front office or pve6 in back room).
Thank you.

Is there a way to clear the token so I can add this host?

the question is why is there a token with that name already? is there something/someone that is using that token?

if you really want to clear it, there are 3 possibilities:

* you go to the pve ui and delete the token -> every user of that token will not be able to connect anymore
* use a different token name for pdm
* go to the pve ui and refresh the secret for that token and enter the token details directly instead of letting it auto-create

Is the Remote ID just some descriptive text? (eg. pve5 in front office or pve6 in back room).

yes the remote id is just the id which is used in pdm to reference it
