trubles adding node on proxmox 2.1 cluster

[Ugo Vasi]

Hi,
I've a two nodes cluster (proxmox version 2.1-1/f9b0f63a) which is working fine since some months.
Now I want to add a new node (a fresh installation of proxmox same version) by console pvecm command but it does not work.
I try to add the new node with the following command:

root@proxmox01 ~ # pvecm addnode proxmox03

but if I display cluster nodes, the new server appear not connected:

root@proxmox01 ~ # pvecm nodes
Node  Sts   Inc   Joined               Name
   1   M   5428   2012-11-05 04:13:33  proxmox01
   2   M   5432   2012-11-05 04:13:39  proxmox02
   3   X      0                        proxmox03

Any idea? How can I found the problem?

Thanks

The 'addnode' command worked without problems?

 

[dietmar]

sigh - you use the wrong command! Do not use 'addnode'!

Please revert this change using the 'delnode' command.

After that, re-read the documentation at

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster

The correct command to add nodes is 'pvecm add'

Please revert this change using the 'delnode' command.

I've deleted the node and retry with 'add' command:

root@bluemox01 ~ # pvecm  add bluemox03
authentication key already exists

The node do not appear in node list.

The node do not appear in node list.

Please read the documentation carefully (you need to run that on the new node instead).

Hello,

We too have a 2 node cluster (nodes interconnected over VPN network) and we are trying to add a new node to the existing cluster.

master1 > 10.10.1.3
master2 > 10.10.1.4
master4 > 10.10.1.5 (new node)

As mentioned we tried to add the new node to the cluster:

root@master4:~# pvecm add 10.10.1.5

But in master1 it doesn't show the master4 as online.

root@master1 ~ # cat /etc/pve/.members
{
"nodename": "master1",
"version": 5,
"cluster": { "name": "xxx", "version": 44, "nodes": 3, "quorate": 1 },
"nodelist": {
"master2": { "id": 1, "online": 1, "ip": "10.10.1.4"},
"master1": { "id": 3, "online": 1, "ip": "10.10.1.3"},
"master4": { "id": 2, "online": 0}
}
}

From new node the members list is as below:

root@master4:~# cat /etc/pve/.members
{
"nodename": "master4",
"version": 3,
"cluster": { "name": "xxx", "version": 38, "nodes": 3, "quorate": 1 },
"nodelist": {
"master2": { "id": 1, "online": 0},
"master1": { "id": 3, "online": 0},
"master4": { "id": 2, "online": 1, "ip": "x.x.x.x"}
}
}


Here the x.x.x.x is the public IP of new node master4. We have added correct private IPs in /etc/hosts for all the nodes. Any idea why it shows public IP for master4 instead of private IP? I am able to ping the private IP of master1 from master4, so the private network is fine. Any help is much appreciated.

Any clue on why it shows the public IP?

Usually the hostname resolves to this IP using /etc/hosts. Please check that file again.

What is the output of

master4# pvecm status

I've deleted the node and retry with 'add' command:

root@bluemox01 ~ # pvecm  add bluemox03
authentication key already exists

The node do not appear in node list.

pvecm add bluemox03 -force

or

pvecm add 192.168.8.10 -force
