    Hi @Priya Jayaraman

    The quorum type is a way to configure how a cluster determines the number of failures it can tolerate before it stops functioning. The most common type of quorum is majority, which means that more than half of the voting elements in the cluster must be online and able to communicate with each other.

    The advantage of using the majority quorum type is that it prevents a "split brain" situation in the cluster, where two subsets of nodes attempt to access the same resource at the same time and cause data corruption.

    For more information, please refer to this link: Configure and manage the quorum in a failover cluster | Microsoft Learn
