And the cluster has only mon 3 remaining so mon 3 has quorum. Now what happens if mon 1 and 2 come up? Do they join mon 3 and so there will again be 3 monitors in the cluster? > The epoch of the monmap has increased by removing mons 1 and 2 from the map. Only mon 3 has this new map with the new epoch. Therefor, if mon 1 and 2 boot they see the epoch of mon 3 is newer and thus won't be able to join.
