Hi all!

I’ve deployed a Rancher2 HA cluster with 5 nodes (the setup has been done via RKE) and each nodes has all the kubernetes roles.

However, while stressing availability (by shutting down nodes) i’ve noticed that with 2 (out of 5) nodes down the cluster was not reachable anymore.  
While watching the “system” pods I’ve noticed this:

 ![31](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/2X/4/4b11960ab097f40652a13fee3d1931f8fea75362.png)

Where some workloads have scale = 1… is this correct? I was expecting to have scale \> 1 for all workloads in order to satisfy Fully HA of the cluster.

can i manually increase the scale of the workloads to a value \>=3 ?

Thanks in advance  
Marco
