Proxmox cluster expansion

homelabproxmox

Assuming you already have Proxmox VE installed on one [[Homelab]] server, this is the short version I used to add a second node to the cluster:

  • Install ProxmoxVE on the new node
  • Login to the first node and create a Cluster
    • pvecm create CLUSTERNAME
  • Join the cluster on the second node
    • pvecm add IP-ADDRESS-CLUSTER
  • Check the status by running:
    • pvecm status or pvecm nodes

More info, with all the caveats I am skipping here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_adding_nodes_to_the_cluster
