cluster not ready - no quorum? (500)

[Humbert]

Proxmox 2.1 I have running, create a cluster then add a node, the cluster lost HDD is damage, and now I can not create vm. I say this cluster not ready - no quorum? (500). does not work "pvecm delnode my_node" I need help please

if you lost quorum you need to gain that again.

e.g. by setting the expected votes to 1 (but do this only if you know exactly what you do here):

> pvecm e 1

I just do pvecm e 1?

you need to understand the cluster and quorum concept, otherwise you should not run a cluster. read all docs from here:

my language is Spanish, sorry my English is not good. I'm no expert on Proxmox, but I work long enough to know that is a cluster and a node, my problem is: I had a cluster with two nodes, one node will damage the HDD, the damaged node does not exist and Proxmox not let me create vm

either you read all docs and learn how to recover it with the help of this forum or you buy commercial support and we can login remotely and fix it for you.

Yes, but make sure the other node is offline. After that you have quorum again, and you can start to fix things (delete the other node from the cluster config with pvecm)

OK. Very thanks. And last question for interest - if I will setting up third node (some older hw) only for quorum not for VM. I am OK if one main nodes failed?
