lxc won't start when cluster is down.

[RobFantini]

is it possible to start an lxc when cluster is not working?

I've tried and get this:

sys3  ~ # lxc-start -n 3101   -F --logfile=3101.log --logpriority=debug
cluster not ready - no quorum?
lxc-start: conf.c: run_buffer: 336 Script exited with status 255
lxc-start: start.c: lxc_init: 430 failed to run pre-start hooks for container '3101'.
lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1131 failed to initialize the container
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

On our production system the cluster is also down, and I can start the openvz systems.

For some unknown reason our test and production clusters are not working... the systems start in standalone mode.

No, you need quorum to start VMs or containers.
