Enter the name (up to 32 characters) or IP address of the host system that is
acting as the Quorum server for the cluster. A Quorum server is a failover
mechanism that acts as a cluster arbitrator between the NAS servers in your
cluster. It prevents the formation of multiple clusters that aren't aware of one
another but are accessing the same storage. It is not a physical part of the
cluster.
To define a Quorum server:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to High Availability, then select Cluster
Properties.
3 Select Actions > Edit Quorum Server Name.
