Changing IP address for all nodes in Proxmox Cluster

Steps

  • Change IP in all nodes in following files /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts
  • Change all IP address in /etc/pve/corosync.conf
  • Reboot all nodes.

Troubleshooting

If above failed during the synchronization, use following commands to fix it.

  • Stop cluster services on the node that wasn't synchronized
systemctl stop corosync.service
systemctl stop pve-cluster
  • Update the corosync.conf file manually
vi /etc/corosync/corosync.conf
  • Restart cluster services
systemctl start corosync.service
systemctl start pve-cluster

Verify configuration file again and cluster status

cat /etc/corosync/corosync.conf
pvecm status

XRDP login with error related to color policies

XRDP is the service service for Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.

Note: XRDP desktop isn't the desktop of console, and it is also impacting the console login. So, don't use console and XRDP at same time.
Note: when I used VNC based software, the screen didn't refresh correctly.

Error

Following errors occurred, these error message can be bypassed by key in password or click on Cancel button and these are only appearing one the first connection established

Authentication is required to create a color profile
Authentication is required to create a color managed device

Reason

The authorization was not granted by Polkit on color management features to user remote login user. The errors are shown as below in file /var/log/auth.log, and the first line is for failed login.

Fix

Create file called /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/45-allow-colord.pkla as below

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/45-allow-colord.pkla

[Allow Colord all Users]
