VE Cluster Quorums

[vertigo2049]

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading through the notes around setting up a quorum disk. (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node_High_Availability_Cluster)

Does anyone have any updated notes on creating a quorum disk using corosync, pacemaker and pcs
as cman is no longer available in centos 7 or debs?


Thanks

Si

Hi,

there is no updates quorum disk is deprecated and will no more come.
You can use quorum device but this is not a two node setup.
You need min two PVE nodes and one qDevice what can also be connected through WAN.

I get errors on following the notes on the other thread...

What is VM02 for a host?
If this is a VM on the cluster this will not work.

You try to install a Debian package on a Proxmox VE.
This does not work.
I guess your repos are not up to date.
