Remove Node from Proxmox Cluster Rumi, September 9, 2020 Step 1 : Migrate all VMs to another active node Migrate all VMs to another active node. You can use the live migration feature if you have a shared storage or offline migration if you only have local storage. Step 2 : Display all active nodes Display all active nodes in order identify the name of the node you want to remove root@proxmox-node2:~# pvecm nodes Membership information ---------------------- Nodeid Votes Name 1 1 proxmox-node1 (local) 2 1 proxmox-node2 3 1 proxmox-node3 4 1 proxmox-node4 Step 3: Shutdown (permanently) the node that you want to remove Please be carefull, it a permanently remove !!! Never restart the removed node Don’t assign the local ip address of the removed node to a new node Never assign the name of the removed node to a new node Step 4 : Remove the node from the proxmox cluster Connect to an active node, for example proxmox-node2. root@proxmox:~# pvecm delnode NodeName For Example : root@proxmox-node2:~# pvecm delnode proxmox-node3 Step 5 : Remove the removed node from the proxmox GUI Log in to an active node, for example proxmox-node2. root@proxmox-node2:~# ls -l /etc/pve/nodes/ proxmox-node1 proxmox-node2 proxmox-node3 proxmox-node4 All nodes have is own directory (VM’s inventory, for example), the directory /etc/pve/nodes/ is synced between all cluster nodes. The removed node is still visible in GUI until the node directory exists in the directory /etc/pve/nodes/. If you want to remove from Proxmox GUI the node previously deleted , you just need to delete the directory /etc/pve/nodes/NodeName. root@proxmox-node2:~# mv /etc/pve/nodes/NodeName /root/NodeName Src: https://sysadmin-community.com/remove-node-from-cluster-proxmox/ Related Administrations Collected Articles Proxmox ClusterProxmox
আমরা কি ব্যাঙের ভূমিকা নিতে যাচ্ছি? January 18, 2011 স্বর্ণকেশী বা স্বর্ণকেশিনীদের নিয়ে অনেক কৌতুক পশ্চিমে প্রচলিত আছে। এসব কৌতুকের একটাই বিষয়, প্রমাণ করার চেষ্টা যে, এদের মাথায় বুদ্ধি কম। যেমন একজন স্বর্ণকেশিনী ইলেকট্রনিকসের দোকানে ঢুকে বলল, ওই টেলিভিশনটার দাম কত? দোকানি উত্তর দিল, আমরা স্বর্ণকেশিনীর কাছে জিনিস বেচি না। স্বর্ণকেশিনী দোকান থেকে বেরিয়ে সোজা গেল একটা বিউটি পারলারে।… Read More

tnxs for the “remove from GUI”, was looking for this. One remark: when you remove a node and add it again under the same name it is wise to remove it first from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and remove it first from /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts to save yourself a lot off vnc connection errors, also you might want to remove this access anyway.

IMHO, you should not add the deleted node back again! It will create anomalies in corosync services and eventually you might ended up a broken/non-funcitonal cluster Reply
I looked into this. This is because you did not logically detach the node from the cluster. Before step 2 you should detach the node you want to remove as follows: systemctl stop pve-cluster systemctl stop corosync pmxcfs -l rm /etc/pve/corosync.conf rm -r /etc/corosync/* killall pmxcfs systemctl start pve-cluster poweroff Your poweroff advise solves a lot of issues in detaching. After shutdown you should execute pvecm expected X where X is the number of remaining nodes in the cluster and THEN you excute on a remaining node pvecm delnode oldnode ls -l /etc/pve/nodes/ mv /etc/pve/nodes/oldnode /root/oldnode followed by the SSH corrections I mentioned above regards from Holland, Rick Reply
