Hello everybody, I am running 3 instances in a cluster. Every VM or CT on instance 1 and 2 are running their root disk on a shared drive on instance 3. Now instance 3 is messed up and I would like to move all the shared root disks to the local disk on instance 1 and 2. So I did copy all the files to the "dump" dir of the other instances and tried:
Code: 
qmrestore /var/lib/vz/dump/vm-108-disk-0.raw 108

I got

Code: 
cluster not ready - no quorum?

So tried:

Code: 
qm unlock 108

brought me:

Code: 
Configuration file 'nodes/pve1/qemu-server/108.conf' does not exist

So tried to delete the VM and got:


Code: 
rying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-pve-shared' ...
TASK ERROR: cfs-lock 'storage-pve-shared' error: no quorum!

I am stuck right now, anybody any idea how to handle my problem? Thanks in advance.
 
You should check why there is no quorum. Without it PVE will be read-only. 2 of your 3 nodes are still up and running?

Yes they are up and running but the VMS and CTS are "dead" since the root data are located on node 3
 
You have to fix the cluster first. Without quorum those two remaining PVE nodes will be read-only.

Check your cluster status. With 2 of 3 votes you should got quorum so probably something isn't working.

I got this one which I do not understand.....
 
Then you probably edited your number of votes to more than 1 vote per node.
5 votes are expected and you only got 2 votes from the remaining nodes and 3 of 5 votes are required for quorum.

In case you were never running a 5 node clustee you maybe gave the failed node 3 votes so it could run stand alone?
