Located under /etc/pve/.members, the member node file shows all the member nodes that are a part of the Proxmox cluster. It is a great way to see the cluster status, when the Proxmox GUI becomes inaccessible for any reason. The following is the .members file in our basic cluster:
{
"nodename": "pmxvm01",
"version": 9,
"cluster": { "name": "pmx-cluster", "version": 2, "nodes": 2, "quorate": 1 },
"nodelist": {
"pmxvm01": { "id": 1, "online": 1, "ip": "192.168.145.1"},
"pmxvm02": { "id": 2, "online": 1, "ip": "192.168.145.2"}
}
}The content of a .members file is as follows:
"nodename": "pmxvm01"
The previous code section shows the current node where the .members file is being accessed.
"version": 9
The .members file has its own version numbering system. Like the .version file, every time .members is changed, the version increases. For example, when a node is added or removed from the cluster, the version number moves upward.
