[SOLVED] How to Remove a Proxmox Node

---

Remove a cluster node

Move all virtual machines out of the node, just use the Central Web-based Management 2.0 to migrate or delete all VM´s. Make sure you have no local backups you want to keep, or save them accordingly.
Log in to one remaining node via ssh. Issue a pvecm nodes command to identify the nodeID:
pvecm nodes

Node Sts Inc Joined Name
1 M 156 2011-09-05 10:39:09 hp1
2 M 156 2011-09-05 10:39:09 hp2
3 M 168 2011-09-05 11:24:12 hp4
4 M 160 2011-09-05 10:40:27 hp3

Issue the delete command (here deleting node hp2):

pvecm delnode hp2

If the operation succeeds no output is returned, just check the node list again with 'pvecm nodes' (or just 'pvecm n').

ATTENTION: you need to power off the removed node, and make sure that it will not power on again.
