PVE virtual cluster waiting for quorum - HELP please!

[proxwolfe]

Hi,

For testing purposes I created a virtual cluster: On my real PVE host I set up a cluster, created a virtual PVE guest and joined it to the cluster (which currently only consists of these two nodes).

For an unrelated reason I needed to restart the real PVE host.

Now that it has booted up, it is trying to start all the VMs/LXCs. But it doesn't. The process shows "waiting for quorum".

The problem is that there won't be a quorum unless it starts the virtual PVE guest (node).

So I seem to be stuck here.

Any ideas what I could do?

Thanks!

okay, so I solved this by removing the virtual node from the cluster again:

pvecm delnode hp4

This, at first, did not work, as, again, the cluster was missing quorum for this action.

So I reduced the number of nodes to be present for quorum to 1 and then was able to remove the virtual node:

pvecm expected 1
