    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...

    Added new host without disabling qdevice, now can't remove the qdevice

    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. I recently aquired a new server so added that as a cluster node without realising that I was supposed to remove the qdevice first. I now have a cluster with a qdevice that...

    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...

    PVE quorum on cluster

    Hi, Basically what I want to achieve is having 2 node cluster with offsite backups for redundancy. In case of node 1 failing, I will restore backups on node 2 and proceed using it. The problem is Quorum on node 2 when node 1 is dead - node 2 does not have a quorum and therefore cannot start...

    Upgrade cluster node to Proxmox 6 (re-install) when already part of Proxmox 5.4 cluster?

    Hi, I currently have a Proxmox 5.4 homelab cluster (2 nodes + external qdevice) and plan to rebuild the cluster as Proxmox 6 via a complete re-install of each Node (since I want to move the underlying local storage to ZFS on UEFI). I’ve read the PVE6 upgrade guide...

My dream setup would be...
