0x00000004 1 192.168.16.72


I would like to disable one server (NODid 2) due to high power consumption, but with possible to start it in case of failure of other nodes.

When i just turn off NODid2 my quorum = total votes and i lose security in case of failure of next nodes.

What is the solution to this problem?
 
Hi,

for this case you could set the the votes of this node to 0.
This reduce the expected to 3 votes and it is like the node does not exists for quorum.

But don't forget to set the votes back to 1 in case you use the node again.
 
No only on one server on path /etc/pve/cororsysnc.conf

but please read also
man corosync.conf
 
thank you!
