Hi, I'm new on proxmox and its communitty, and I faced an error that i couldn’t solve.

The error is that when I'm copying the information to join the cluster I created, the node IP "changes" from *.*.*.12 to *.*.*.175.
When I try to connect to the node with this information I get this message:
detected the following error(s):
* local node address: cannot use IP '*.*.*.174', not found on local node!

TASK ERROR: Check if node may join a cluster failed!

and I don't know what to do! Can someone please help me?
 
Hi, here is the network configs (ip a):

root@pve2:~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 6c:3b:e5:51:09:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eno2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 6c:3b:e5:51:09:fd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 6c:3b:e5:51:09:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.1.1.12/24 brd 10.1.1.255 scope global vmbr0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::6e3b:e5ff:fe51:9fc/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

and when I tried to join the cluster via CLI I got the exact same error message.

NOTE: I do have some VMs on the cluster's node (10.1.1.12), but I have none in the node I'm trying to connect to the cluster.

Hi again,

Please post output of cat /etc/network/interfaces and pveversion -v for both nodes
 
Ok, here are the outputs from pve2 (10.1.1.12, the node I created the cluster on):

Code:

# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

Hi,

Please post output of cat /etc/hosts on both node, and consider to upgrade your PVE nodes to the current version.
 
Hi, here's the output from pve2:

Code:
root@pve2:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.1.175 pve2.gpssat.com.br pve2

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

and here's the output from pve:

Code:
root@pve:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.1.174 pve.gpssat.com.br pve

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I just upgraded both nodes, as you said. Now they're on version 6.2-15.

But I didn't change the IPs. Nor did my superior. Is it something that can occur automatically??


Should I change the 10.1.1.174 and 10.1.1.175 IPs on /etc/hosts to the original IPs, respectively, to 10.1.1.10 and 10.1.1.12?

Edit: I think the IPs changed because of the DNS service, but I'm not sure.

Yes IPs in /etc/hosts file should be same original IP, so please edit your /etc/hosts file and change to 10.1.1.10 and 10.1.1.12.
afterwards do hostname --ip to be sure that your IP has changed.
