Unable to add a previous node to a cluster

[Matthias Looss]

I removed a cluster node as per the documentation and re-installed PVE, when I try to add the node again to the cluster I keep getting this error.

I ran this command

ssh-keygen -R hn5

root@hn5:~# pvecm add hn3
can't create shared ssh key database '/etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys'
authentication key already exists

Any input here is greatly appreciated.

# pvecm add hn3 --force

I should have mentioned this, but I already did try,

pvecm add hn3 -f​

is this an even more aggressive option. I didn't see this command in any documentation?

and all it does is keep waiting on quorum, just like run the above command:

root@hn5:~# pvecm add hn3 --force
can't create shared ssh key database '/etc/pve/priv/authorized_keys'
node hn5 already defined
copy corosync auth key
stopping pve-cluster service
backup old database
waiting for quorum...

It's been more then 5 minutes now and it is still waiting for quorum?

might be related to no multicast traffic which is required by corosync. check your switch. I have the same issue still tho I can see multicast udp (ip addrs in 224.0.0.0/4)
