The Cluster lost quorum from one moment to the next. I was checking the network and there is not a very firm problem around the network.

Quorum all nodes:

Is that network used by other "services" that might take up all the bandwidth? Prime examples are anything storage related. If the backup target is on that network, that could also be a reason.
Can the nodes still ping each other on that network?

Best practice is to have multiple Corosync links, this way Corosync has options, should one link become unusable. Ideally one physical network is there only for Corosync to avoid any issues of other services congesting the link.
 
Thanks for de fast reply

There is a separate VLAN for Corosync. But it is the same physical cable.

It doesn't seem to be a bandwidth problem. I have 3 nodes that are “development” on the same cluster. I was able to reboot them, they have no load and also do not raise quorum between them 3.

It is a 10GB link. I have visibility by ssh, ping, and udp between all nodes.

Can they still ping each other? Is the VLAN still working? It isn't unheard of to forget to save a switch config in the startup/boot config and then a sudden switch reboot will make the switch lose the running config.
