[PVE 5.1] How to disable automatic restart on a node when it has lost the HA cluster link

[ThomasB]

Hello,

How to disable the attempt to automatically restart a node (master) or (slave) in the HA cluster after it is disconnected from the cluster, to be able to give the master role and start the VM faster ?

Thanks

There is no master, all nodes are equal, decisions are quorum based.

As long as you have quorum, no restarts of the nodes will happen. If you do not have quorum, nodes are fenced to prevent misuse of cluster resources.

Hello Tom,

Figured you, if I shut down the interface of one of the two nodes the server restarted to try to resume life.

I do not want the server to restart because it lost 3 minutes to the secondary node to boot the VM

Quorum is enabled

If you have two nodes only, you cannot enable Proxmox VE HA.

Well if, the HA is well activate between my two physical servers the only problem that annoys me now, if there is a failure on the server master (the (15) VM works on priority), example:

Performed in test, disconnection of RJ45 links the master server restarts, 3 minutes after the backup server takes the (15) VM in state from storage.

But I want to avoid a restart for the backup server to turn on the VMs
20 to 30 seconds later
