2 QDevices - possible?

[kermitxyz]

I have three nodes in a cluster, two of which are mostly powered off.

Can I add two Qdevices to the cluster, so that the quorum of three is always maintained?

Thank you

Most likely not and it would probably not give you what you want. You can give that one special node more votes but that means that your cannot run your cluster without that node. Maybe running a cluster is not the best option for you and running separate nodes with Datacenter Manager to move VMs between separate Proxmox systems is better suited for your need?

Thank you. I have just looked at DCM and think it might help greatly. I understand it can run as a VM rather than on dedicated hardware, is that correct?

I run it as a container (LXC, install on top of Debian), so that would also work.
