There's little reason to run a one and one vote two-host configuration, 
nor particular reason to license a third cluster node co-resident with 
either lobe unless there's also shared storage involved within that 
lobe.
The former as a failure in either lobe stalls all, the latter as it's 
little different from a one and none voting configuration and it costs 
way more.
Same for using a quorum disk in any cluster without also having a 
shared interconnect; assign those no-shared-interconnect quorum disk 
votes to the host.
