[PVE-User] Strange cluster/graphics problem in 3-node cluster

[Eneko Lacunza]

Hi all,

The rrd graphs issue is that rrd data seems to be propagated to the 
cluster, so when a node is out of the cluster, doesn't get rrd from the 
rest of the nodes.

I checked that graph pieces missing in proxmox1 GUI, was present in 
proxmox2 and/or proxmox3 GUI (and the other way too).

Now I can focus on the intermitent cluster network issue ... ;-)

Cheers
