Join Cluster on ESXI

[Daniel-RUS]

Hello. On the site you can download VMDK image. But immediately on ESXI it cannot be loaded. There you need to download OVF and VMDK files! Therefore, I created one general image on the VMware Workstation. After I converted it to the OVF file. Then I installed Node 1. There is no problem.
However, after I created the second car on the ESXI from the VMware Workstation image. And when attached to the cluster, I get the following mistake:
<3> Add_node error: <4> the public key x7kdkzglcjvca0rozlplpgacoqljtr9qhunzg6ew = is already used by node 1

I thought. Most likely, a public key is created at the time of the first launch of the car or once again. And changing it as I understand it is not possible. Since I did everything from one image, I received two cars with one key. Which causes a mistake.

AFAIK you need to create a VM and configure use the vmdk file as virtual disk, see also How to Import VMDK to ESXi, XenServer and Other Platforms? | Vinchin Backup

I assume it’s about the wireguard public key, it can be edited in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf.

Restart the wireguard connection to apply the changes:

systemctl restart wg-quick@wg0
