Hello all,

Not sure if this was mentioned but i searched everywhere. I set up a 2 node cluster per instructions I found and I deliberately removed (physically) the second node (which had nothing on it). On the primary node I can neither create nore remove containers now. When I try to pvecm delnode "second node" it comes up with cluster not ready nno quorum. I believe this is not a bug but an issue with 2 node configs. Is there a way I can fix this without adding the second node back physically?

Thanks,

No, this is no bug. You need to gain quorum first by setting expected votes to 1:

# pvecm expected 1

After that you can delete the second node.
