[SOLVED] PVE Cluster & QDevice Status

[MikeO3]

Hello.

I have a cluster of two hosts 8.4 pve-1 and pve-2 to which I have added a qdevice on an rpi. The following is the status from both nodes and wanted to know if this is normal or if there is an issue with the config on pve-2 which shows the following for the qdevice:
0x00000000 0 Qdevice (votes 1)

Thanks !

I have a similar cluster with two nodes and a qdevice, and in both nodes I have "Total votes: 3", so I don't know why in your case it is different.

Can you check "systemctl status corosync-qdevice" in your pve-2 node?

Thanks for the suggestion but ya, it was clean until yesterday where lost network connection for some reason. if up/down did not fix so ended up rebooting pve-2 and reset itself to a good state.
