No before the DC is elected. There are two settings: dc-deadtime and startup-fencing which can reduce the time for DC election. Note that disabling startup fencing is not recommended. But I don't know what's your use case. YMMV. > 2) Is there a way to tell Pacemaker to ignore quorum requirements > ~before~ starting additional nodes? > > 2) Is there an alternate way to configure Pacemaker? Yes, you can modify the CIB _before_ starting pacemaker. Sth like: CIB_file=/var/lib/heartbeat/crm/cib.xml crm configure ... But in that case you need to remove cib.xml.sig. Then you have to make sure that pacemaker starts first on this node. Consider this only if everything else fails.
