How do you handle Proxmox clusters when you only have 1 or 2 servers?

I technically have 3 servers but I keep one offline because I don't need it 24/7 most point wasting power on a server I don't need.

I believe I read somewhere that you can force Proxmox it to a lower number but it isn't recommended. Has anyone done this and if so have you run into any issues with this?

My main issue is I want my VM to start no matter what. For example I had a power outage. When the servers came back online instead of starting they waited for the quorum number to reach 3. (it will never reach 3 because the third server wasn't turn on.) so they just waited forever until I got home and ran

AFAIK forcing it to a lower number is fine if you're not doing HA. I remember reading something along those lines on a forum, but I could be remembering wrong.

If you're not using Ceph or HA, then I don't think there would be any negative effects from not having all the servers in the cluster ready.

Oh good, I am not using any of those at least not at the moment.
