[PVE-User] HA Failover if shared storage fails on one Node

[Martin Holub]

Hi,

We have dedicated Links for the Storage and the Cluster Communication,
so if only the Storage Links fail Corosync is still working. Maybe i
need to create some Watchdog myself for that specific case, but let's
wait if there is really nothing in Proxmox to handle that Scenario.

Best,
Martin
