Is the order in which nodes are booted significant?
In most cases, no. However, the boot order is important to prevent amnesia (refer to “Quorum and Quorum Devices” for details on amnesia). For example, if node two was the owner of the quorum device and node one is down, and then you bring node two down, you must bring up node two before bringing back node one. This prevents you from accidentally bringing up a node with out of date cluster configuration information.
