Cluster Node Maintenance

[Juan C]

Hi: I'm new with Proxmox and Clustering, so I have to stop a node on my Cluster because I have an HDD on my RAID Failing so I want to replace it, Its ok to stop the Node? I don't have to do any operation before I shut down the node?. I also want to add another HDD outside the RAID that I want to use it for Backups only.

regards and thank you for your work

this is what we do:
for shutting down a cluster node for maintenance - if you have vm's that must be working when the node is off then migrate those to other nodes. with share storage that is easy. as you know without share storage that can take time depending on size of vm and network speed.

good luck!
