High Avibility Suggestions

[Antonino89]

Hi guys,

Here is my situation:

I have 2 physical servers, Server1 and Server2 connected to the same network, they share a storage (FreeNAS) i did not test it yet.

I created on server1 a cluster called CLUSTERTEST then i added node server2 on CLUSTERTEST.

And everythings seems to work properly.

Now i want to build the High Avaibility, i read that i need at least 3 nodes. That's true also in proxmox 5.0?

That means, i should build up a third physical server, Server3? or i can create some "Logical nodes"?

Thanks...

If you do not plan to have VMs running on this third node it can be a smaller machine and used just for solving / maintaining cluster quorum.
