Hello,
I have a cluster of 2 Proxmox nodes and experienced strange situation today.

I wanted to simulate unclean node failure and rebooted one of the nodes with command "reboot 0" and the other node also rebooted.
Why the other node rebooted at all?
 
"The other node" lost connectivity to the first node when you rebootet that one. It was alone then, as a single surviving node. But it does not know that! The expected behavior in that situation for it is to "fence" itself - by rebooting.

Look into the documentation and search for "quorum" and especially for one possible solution by establishing a "qdevice"...

Best regards
