[PVE-User] PVE Cluster and /etc/hosts.conf

[Gilberto Nunes]

That's great.
But my doubt still remain.
/etc/hosts.conf has some effect over cluster and migration??
I meant, if I have two nic, in two servers, one nic to administrative
access and the second, working as a private network between the two nodes.
So, the first node has, for instance, the name pve01, which has the IP
10.1.1.10.
The second node has the name pve02 and IP 10.1.1.20.
Both nodes can see each other with their names and resolv to IP CIDR
10.1.1.0/24.

After I create the cluster using the pvecm create NAME, I go through second
node and do this:

pvecm add pve01

I see the pvecm connect to pve01, using the internal IP, which is
10.1.1.10, as instate it before.

So for now on, the cluster and migration traffic would ran between two
nodes using CIDR 10.1.1.0/24.

That's is correct??
Thanks
