Hi
We have a windows cluster with 3 nodes and no witness on windows 2016
Quorum type : NODE_MAJORITY
Number of Quorum Votes : 1 for each node
I am simulating a DR by shutting down Node 2 and Node 3, since every node has 1 vote and we are using node majority config, I am expecting that the cluster will fail and I have to start the cluster with "forcequorum" option to establish a service
and bring Always ON and SQL online
This was not the case, the cluster is still up and Always ON running on Node 1 even if Node 2 and 3 are down and we lost node majority, I am also able to reproduce the case using microsoft handsonlabs (Config Always ON availability group)

Any explanation on this behavior?
Best regards
