Hi. I have a proxmox cluster of two nodes, but one of them is my "dev" server and spends most of it's time powered off. How can I make the "prod" server come up properly (say after a power failure)? Right now I have to login to it via ssh and run "pvecm expected 1" which is a bit of a pain when the machine hosts my router and DHCP server, so access is a pain.
 
Applied the change (to make the "prod" node get 2 votes), and now it boots and starts up fine, with or without the "dev" node.
 
You can assign more votes to the primary node in the /etc/pve/corosync.conf file and updating the line:

quorum_votes: 1

to

quorum_votes: 2

and then incrementing the number in line:

config_version: 7

to show that theres been a change to the config
