Establishing a cluster between 2 nodes for migration

[lhorace]

Hello,

I have two PVE nodes, both are 4.1 releases, and I would like to establish a cluster between them to easily migrate containers. I've already dived into https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_4.x_Cluster#Proxmox_VE_Cluster and I am not quite looking for HA setup. It appears I can end up in a mess if either the nodes go down.

Is there alternative or must this been done manually ?

I run a two node cluster. No HA. it just works, and is mostly suitable for my purposes.

I will note that I do plan to add a third "tiny" node so I can have quorum with more stability, and possibly adding DRBD9 for the storage.

Interestingly, while reading a few posts on this particular scenario, I did attempt a two node cluster and ended up reformatting one of the nodes. It seems when one node goes down, you can't make any modifications to the other one. Albeit this particular issue is insignificant. One of the issues I came across, there seems to be no documentation to destroy/revert a cluster aside from reformatting?
