HA and DRBD questions before building 4 way cluster

So all points back to cluster.conf, which I cant edit. Is there any way how I can edit the file in another way?

Yes, you can edit /etc/cluster/cluster.conf directly, then start cman, set expected votes, ...

Or simply start pve-cluster file system in local mode:

# pmxcfs -l

After that you can edit all files in /etc/pve/. But please make sure no other nodes are online during that time,
and restart pmxcfs (or the node) in normal mode after you are done.
 
Thanks Dietmar. I tried what you said before hand and but I got error files in use. After I halted the 3 other nodes I could do it. Output:

root@jt1:~# pmxcfs -l
[main] notice: unable to aquire pmxcfs lock - trying again
[main] crit: unable to aquire pmxcfs lock: Resource temporarily unavailable
[main] notice: exit proxmox configuration filesystem (-1)
root@jt1:~# umount -f /etc/pve
root@jt1:~# pmxcfs -l
[main] notice: forcing local mode (althought cluster.conf exists)

You are a star man. Thanks a mil!!!
