Proxmox Cluster: Fixing Corosync Redundant Links and a Hidden Config Bug
A Proxmox VE cluster engineer added a second Corosync network link to establish true redundancy, connecting both the management network and an isolated Corosync-net interface. A misconfiguration using the wrong config key 'priority' instead of 'knet_link_priority' caused the lower-priority link to silently take over traffic, going unnoticed until log analysis revealed the issue. The correct key was identified from the official corosync.conf man page, and once applied, both links were properly indexed and the intended high-priority link resumed control. A failover test confirmed the setup worked correctly — cutting the primary link caused an immediate, seamless switchover to the backup with no loss of quorum.
