Proxmox cluster with 4 nodes but strange values for expected votes and quorum

[kyob]

I have four nodes in cluster. pvecm status should show expeceted votes = 4 and quorum = 3 but it's not:

#pvecm status

How can I fix it and change expeceted votes to 4 and quorum to 3 without any cluster interruption?

Hi!

You can try with setting the expected votes to 4:

pvecm expected 4

I tried but nothing change:

!root@pve4:~# pvecm expected 4
!root@pve4:~# pvecm status

Can you post your /etc/pve/corosync.conf config?

 

[kyob]

Yes sure:

!root@pve4:~# cat /etc/pve/corosync.conf
logging {
  debug: off
  to_syslog: yes
}

nodelist {
  node {
    name: pve1
    nodeid: 1
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 10.20.30.181
  }
  node {
    name: pve2
    nodeid: 4
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 10.20.30.182
  }
  node {
    name: pve3
    nodeid: 3
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 10.20.30.183
  }
  node {
    name: pve4
    nodeid: 2
    quorum_votes: 1
    ring0_addr: 10.20.30.186
  }
}

    }
  }

It appears you have a QDevice configured [1]. Do you need that QDevice for something?

You should be able to remove it via this command [2]:

pvecm qdevice remove
