        <arg>--no-voting</arg>

      <para>

        The <option>--no-voting</option> option skips the remote node agreement

        checks. This is dangerous, but necessary in some cases (for example

        failing over the master role in a 2 node cluster with the original master

        down). If the original master then comes up, it won't be able to start

        its master daemon because it won't have enough votes, but so won't the

        new master, if the master daemon ever needs a restart. You can pass

        --no-voting to ganeti-masterd on the new master to solve this problem,

        and gnt-cluster redist-conf to make sure the cluster is consistent again.

      </para>

      <para>

        In version 2.0.X ganeti-masterd will not be able to start if

        masterfailover is called with the --no-voting option (which, again,

        should only be used on 2 nodes clusters with the former master being

        down). In that case just start it manually passing --no-voting to it

        as well, until you have restored cluster redundancy.
