I recently created a 2 node cluster and then had reason to take the second node offline. In so doing, I noticed that the entire PVE stopped functioning until the second node rejoined. Is there a way to tell PVE that when only one node on a two node cluster is functioning to still consider that a quorum (without adding a third node at the moment)?
I was contemplating to temporarily remove the second node but then thought I read that doing so would cause me to need to reinstall the entire second node before rejoining the cluster. Is this correct?
I ran an update on the second node and doing so messed it up somehow and I am looking at that now (used standard apt commands to upgrade the PVE node). I may end up needing to reinstall it anyway, if so, I suppose I ought delete the node from the cluster first and rejoin post install.
Thanks in advance to anyone providing insights and do stay safe and healthy during these challenging times.
