Why is a quorum of 2 servers required ?
Top Without a quorum, you could easily overuse licenses. Here’s how: request licenses from redundant servers for 3 nodes, each of which are on separate networks. Start each of the 3 nodes. If quorum is not required, they’ll each become master, and 3 times the number of licenses purchased will be available. With quorum, this is impossible.
