A quorum disk is a disk that acts as a virtual node
providing a 'vote' to the cluster quorum value in a
VMScluster. The cluster will deliberately cease working if
there aren't enough 'votes'. Any disk can be a quorum disk
and as far as I know a system can have more than one. A
quorum disk or indeed any node taking part can provide one
or more votes, this can be used to ensure e.g. that a
cluster will not continue to operate if the system disk
fails, although other uses are possible.
