To run K3s in this mode, you must have an odd number of server nodes. We recommend starting with three nodes.
Because the majority has to still be available, otherwise it’ll do what it’s doing in your setup.
With 3 control-plane nodes you can have 1 offline

Thanks @rich-cartoon-70161 for the insights. So i assume that setting 3rd master node with --etcd and --controlplane is enough to set and trigger HA behaviour with service up when 1 master node goes down. Will check and confirm on this
r
Yes that should work.

Noted with thanks. If we are to to use external datastore ( https://docs.k3s.io/installation/ha) , is appending --etcd --controlplane with --datastore-endpoint is enough? or external-datastore need to set separately

Hi @loud-helmet-97067, where you able to resolver the correct way to pass the external datastore to a Rancher created K3S cluster?
