    [SOLVED] Issue with qdevice installation after adding nodes to the cluster with existing qdevice

    Hi, I am running a two node cluster with qdevice. I want to replace the existing servers by 2 new ones so I added the 2 new machines to the cluster to migrate the CTs/VMs and to remove the existing ones afterwards. I noticed that the qdevice wasn't shown in the pvecm status of the new servers...

    Is it possible to configure the same qdevice as a quorum device for 2 different clusters?

    Hi! So I have a host (a PBS) acting as a Qdevice which votes for a cluster. Does someone know if it's possible to use the same host for voting in another cluster? Thanks in advance! Best, Salva

    Qdevice for Non-HA cluster?

    So I'm pretty sure I know the answer. I'm building a very small cluster for now. Two nodes. One hosts the NAS and SAN and a few other 'infrastrcture-y' things. The other hosts most of the VMs that I want to boot *from* the SAN. I can manually migrate them from the service node to the infra...

    Hi folks. I have a Proxmox cluster that I've had up for a while now, consisting of two nodes and a pi running as a QDevice.

    Last man standing

    Hi I would like to set up a cluster with 4, max. 5 Nodes. The catch is that during most times only one or two nodes will be running. In my attempts so far I had often had problems with not having quorum even when using a qdevice. The reason for the cluster is that if I need the extra power I...
