I have 4 node cluster at home. I need one to be 100% uptime (critical LXC for home automation etc). Currently at v 8.3.5 with HA enabled.

Is there a way to set it up so in case of electrical outage, to keep only one PC on UPS while the rest go down? I will take care of the shutdown with UPS NUT software, but currently I will lose the quorum. At the same time I do not want to make that node standalone as I like the option to migrate the critical LXCs to new node from time to time.

Any solution? Or I need to make custom scripts?

Well..., with HA enabled it is absolutely required to reboot --> fencing.

Just turn OFF HA to avoid this (and connect this node only to UPS) --> it will stay up, continues to run all currently running VMs/Containers and will not fence itself.
