This topic describes the following quorum device administration tasks:
Resetting a quorum device resets the votes of the quorum device to the default value.
Placing a quorum device in maintenance mode sets its quorum count to zero. You might want to put a quorum device in a maintenance mode when you remove the quorum device from service for an extended period of time. The device does not contribute to the quorum count while the device is being serviced.
When a quorum device is removed from the cluster, it no longer participates in the voting to establish quorum.
All two-node clusters require that at least one quorum device be configured. SunPlex Manager does not remove the last device from the cluster configuration.
