Description Radek Steiger 2015-01-28 10:22:25 UTC
> Description of problem:

In bug 1180506 we've added a warning when stopping a node could cause loss of quorum. We should add the same warning for removing nodes, such as in a following scenario:

1. Have a 5-node cluster with 2 of the nodes being stopped
2. Remove one of the running nodes
3. Enjoy the loss of quorum without a warning


> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pcs-0.9.137-13.el7


> Actual results:

Loss of quorum.


> Expected results:

Similar warning message as in stopping a node:
"Error: Stopping the node(s) will cause a loss of the quorum, use --force to override"
