Re: 2 node openVMS cluster with quorum disk
You should first verify, if the active cluster parameters are as expected:
$ SHOW CLUSTER/CONT
then just type: ADD VOTES, EXPECTED, QDVOTES, CLUSTER
every node should show: VOTES=1, EXPECT=3, QDVOTES=1
In the CLUSTER display, you should have CL_EXPECT=3, CL_QUORUM=2, CL_VOTES=3, QF_VOTE=YES
If the above is true, you can either shut down each member - one at a time - with
$ @sys$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN and specify Shutdown options: REMOVE_NODE
or run the following command on BOTH nodes:
$ @sys$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN and specify Shutdown options: CLUSTER
The 2 nodes will cleanly stop, once both of them reach the end of the shutdown procedure.
To start the systems again, boot them one by one or both at the same time.
Volker.

Re: 2 node openVMS cluster with quorum disk
So this command need to run on both the nodes?
$ @sys$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN and specify Shutdown options: REMOVE_NODE
Or only on 1st node and shutdown 2nd node as normal(without remove_node) options.

When shutting down the last running node in a cluster, you don't need to use REMOVE_NODE, but it doesn't hurt
