In case a host has failed permanently (Eg more than 1 disk failure while using RAID 5, Motherboard failure, etc.) and there is no plan/option to connect the same host again to the cluster, we can remove it using:
# SSH to one of the working nodes
# See the list of nodes using:
#:<pre>
#:: pvecm nodes
#:</pre>
#:: The failed host will not be part of this output
# Check if there is quorum
#:<pre>
#:: pvecm status
#:</pre>
# If there is no quorum ('''Likely with a two-node cluster with 1 failure) then reduce the no of expected votes to 1
#:<pre>
#:: pvecm expected 1
#:</pre>
# Now once quorum is there, delete the remaining node with its name.  We can see the node name in "pvecm status" or on web UI.
#:<pre>
#:: pvecm delnode <node-name>
#:</pre>
