Hi,

We use proxmox since proxmox 4.0 as a cluster for our VMs.
We have a small infrastructure with 4 nodes configured with one NIC each.
We upgrade from 4 to 5 (in-place) without issue.

We would like to do the same for 5 to 6.

However, I have some question about the docs and pv5to6 result.

First things first, you will find all files related to my question. Some of the files have been modified to hide original names or ips.


In the docs, I can see the following :

With Corosync 3 the on-the-wire format has changed. It is now incompatible with Corosync 2.x because it switched out the underlying multicast UDP stack with kronosnet. Configuration files generated by a Proxmox VE with version 5.2 or newer, are already compatible with the new Corosync 3.x (at least enough to process the upgrade without any issues).

Question 1 : Since I am using proxmox 5.4 but upgrade from 4.0, are my configuration files compatible with the new Corosync 3.x ?


So I decided to quickly check the output of pve5to6.

Question 2 : About "FAIL: Unsupported SSH Cipher configured for root in /root/.ssh/config: 3des", should I just remove "3des-cbc" from "/root/.ssh/config" from all nodes ?

Question 3 : About "FAIL: nodeX: unable to resolve ring0_addr 'nodeX' to an IP address according to Corosync's resolve strategy - cluster will potentially fail with Corosync 3.x/kronosnet!", should I just need to specify in "/etc/hosts" all nodes on all nodes ?

Question 4 : About "WARN: nodeX: ring0_addr 'nodeX' resolves to '192.168.0.1'. Consider replacing it with the currently resolved IP address.", (I precise we use one NIC for each nodes and we don't have a Separate Cluster Network (I don't think it was possible when we created the cluster) ), What should I do since it is already specify in /etc/hosts?
 
I cannot give you a guarantee, but in general triple-DES should not be used and PVE does not require it. This is working for me
Code:
root@clusterA:~# cat /root/.ssh/config
Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

For the name resolution problem: Using IP addresses instead of names is recommended for corosync.
 
Hi,

Thanks @Dominic for the answer.

I hope so because I have not idea what to do if it doesn't work.

So I need to edit manualy as described here : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#pvecm_edit_corosync_conf ?


I will heavily test these changes before production because I see a disaster scenario in case of corosync misconfiguration. :eek:
 
The thing with using hostnames in corosync is that it will break as soon as they are not resolvable anymore. This situation is even more likely if you rely on another server in the network and don't use /etc/hosts for it.

I've added and removed 3des-cbc in my file with some rebooting in between just to be sure and everything is still working.
I'd recommend to do so.

This is a very good idea.
