Hi,

when I try to issue: pvecm expected 1 I get: Unable to set expected votes: CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM

Please help

You can only set the expected value to something that would give you quorum - corosync doesn't allow you anything else. And when you currently have only one node active trying to set expected to 2 (even if that would be lower than your current value of 3) that would mean you don't have quorum and thus it blocks it because of a non-operational state. The only value you should currently be able to set it is to 1.
