[gpfsug-discuss] nsd not adding with one quorum node down?

[J. Eric Wonderley]

I have one quorum node down and attempting to add a nsd to a fs:
[root at cl005 ~]# mmadddisk home -F add_1_flh_home -v no |& tee
/root/adddisk_flh_home.out
Verifying file system configuration information ...

The following disks of home will be formatted on node cl003:
    r10f1e5: size 1879610 MB
Extending Allocation Map
Checking Allocation Map for storage pool fc_ssd400G
  55 % complete on Thu Jan  5 14:43:31 2017
Lost connection to file system daemon.
mmadddisk: tsadddisk failed.
Verifying file system configuration information ...
mmadddisk: File system home has some disks that are in a non-ready state.
mmadddisk: Propagating the cluster configuration data to all
  affected nodes.  This is an asynchronous process.
mmadddisk: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine
cause.

Had to use -v no (this failed once before).  Anyhow I next see:
[root at cl002 ~]# mmgetstate -aL

Do all quorum node have to be up and participating to do these admin type
operations?
