[SOLVED] Multiple QDevices

[showiproute]

Hello everyone,

just wondering if it would be possible to add more then 1 QDevice for a Proxmox cluster?

hi,

what would be the advantage of that?
in general you want a qdevice to be able to be a tie breaker for cluster with an even count of nodes, and for that only one is required.

Hello,

the advantage would be to have another QDevice.
I had this issue last weekend after my Raspberry stopped working due to some system issues.

the problem is that in that case it would not be a tie breaker anymore since you now have an even count of votes again...

I'm considering re-adding my workstation as a qdevice, since I re-installed linux (in a different partition, same /home) and the coronetq service is not running.

Membership information
----------------------
Nodeid      Votes    Qdevice Name
0x00000001          1   A,NV,NMW 10.0.0.5
0x00000002          1   A,NV,NMW 10.0.0.43 (local)
0x00000000          0            Qdevice (votes 1)

Normally it shows my workstation at 10.0.0.11 with 1 vote.

If I reboot back into into the other system the votes come back.
I've copied the old systems /etc/ssh ./ssl ./corosync configs, installed coroqnetd, verified the nodes can ssh into my workstation and that there is a coroqnetd user account... so I'm thinking I will try adding 10.0.0.11 again or removing and adding it.

I justnoticed that /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/corosync-qnetd.service didn't get copied over so I will try moving that over now...
