Removing a failed host permanently from proxmox cluster

In case a host has failed permanently (Eg more than 1 disk failure while using RAID 5, Motherboard failure, etc.) and there is no plan/option to connect the same host again to the cluster, we can remove it using:

  1. SSH to one of the working nodes
  2. See the list of nodes using: 
    pvecm nodes
    The failed host will not be part of this output
  3. Check if there is quorum 
    pvecm status
  4. If there is no quorum (Likely with a two-node cluster with 1 failure) then reduce the no of expected votes to 1 
    pvecm expected 1
  5. Now once quorum is there, delete the remaining node with its name. We can see the node name in "pvecm status" or on web UI. 
    pvecm delnode <node-name>
