Hi
I have a 2 server cluster. V4.424
One of the servers was getting old so I moved all Virtuals to newer server.
Then left to complete on the weekend.
This morning the old server died and all still running on the remaining server.
BUT
I needed to shut down one of the VM's
When trying to restart I get the pop up
"cluster not ready - no quorum? (500)"

I am not game to reboot the Proxmox server in case non of the VM's come back up..
How can I start the Virtual Machine ??????
 
Thanks Mira
If I look at removing the dead node, it does not show up, only the still live node.
What can happen if I use the
'pvecm expected 1' command??
It is looking I may not have a choice.??
 
Only use 'pvecm expected 1' if you're sure the other node is not the in the network anymore. All it does is set the 'Expected votes' to 1 instead of 2 for quorum.
