Remove a node from a Proxmox cluster

Open a shell on one of the working nodes.

#Get cluster status
root@pve24:~#pvecm status

If you don’t have a quorum then it may be necessary to change the number of expected votes. To do that issue the following command(s).

root@pve24:~#pvecm expected 1

Remove the node with:

root@pve24:~#pvecm delnode pve25

It may be necessary to restart corosync with:

root@pve24:~#service corosync restart

Reload the proxmox webgui if the node doesn’t go away and you are all set.
