There is a two node cluster here, where one of the machines is the production machine and the other is the built backup machine. The backup machine is off, and only turned on when needed. The cluster was set up before it was realized this would be happening, but it is still very useful because it makes it easy to manage the shared NAS storage where some of the virtual disks are located, and because it's just convenient having both machines accessible from one web interface.
The problem is off course that was quickly discovered was that anything that requires two quorum votes fails when the backup server is off. This was fixed by setting:
pvecm expected 1
My questions are, is this an issue, is running a cluster like this a problem, or can we keep it like this? Also, does the expected votes reset after a server restart?
