Hi, FYI: I believe it might be of interest to you (?) I posted to the forum a thread ~Yesterday; I was doing a similar setup to you. I found it does appear to be possible to do a 2-node setup, and you add a 'quorum disk' which is a (tiny) iSCSI target from some 3rd physical device in your network. In my case my topology is like this,
Proxmox-A is Supermicro host 1/2
Proxmox-B is supermicro host 2/2
Quorum-Disk is on a Synology NAS (used for many roles in this network, including NFS storage for misc Proxmox ISO:Backup storage).
So, basic deal was,
- setup the 2-node proxmox config first
- setup a small iSCSI target on the SynoNAS
- follow steps for config of Quorum disk as per Proxmox docs/wiki. (see links and config samples in my other post/thread)
- get new "HA" config in place on proxmox
- restart services as directed in wiki doc, on first proxmox node first / then on second
- confirm things look as desired
- make sure iSCSI mount is configured to persist at boot / and properly mount just as desired.
- reboot both hosts for sanity test, make sure things come up clean after reboot
- check output of various commands to be sure cluster and quorum votes are as anticipated
- test to make sure things work as expected (ie, can add:edit:change config and /etc/pve filesystem is not locked)
- then power off one of your two ProxVE nodes
- see if you still have quorum, on the remaining ProxVE node with its quorum disk attached and providing sanity (hopefully).
In my config go-around things did appear to get 'jammed' after initial config; but doing a reboot of both ProxVE nodes - appeared to make things start working properly.
Hope this info helps you a tiny bit, maybe.
