I have a nested instance of Proxmox in a Cluster with its host (Proxmox-in-Proxmox, for testing/management only, not for HA or anything else). I obviously know this is not a recommended setup but I am just playing around with it and testing different types of setups and OSes.

I have noticed when this is setup everything works fine and as expected until I shut down the nested VM. If I reboot it it’s fine, and everything works until I power it down. When powered down it cannot come back on again. When I try to start the VM it gives an error dilog saying “cluster not ready - no quorum? (500)”. Any explanation for this? How can I fix?

TIA

I have managed to self-resolve this issue by searching the forum. The required command in this instance is:
# pvecm expected 1

Thread marked as solved.
Thanks :)
