Thanks, Ted.
This would solve power feed problem. Unfortunately we have similar
situation with the switches. Failure of one will bring half of the
servers down. It is understood that changing/adjusting hardware
infrastructure can solve the problem. Unfortunately this is not under my
control. So I am trying to explore possible options (I understand that
there is no currently available solution out of the box) within existing
conditions.

A small rack mounted UPS doesn't require a full-scale rebuild of
infrastructure and would get you through almost all power fail scenarios.
If you have 5 ZK servers, put 3 on one power source and give one of them
the UPS. Then give put the other 2 on the second power source. If power
source A fails, you keep 2+1 servers and if power source B fails, you keep
3.
If you can stand manual intervention during an emergency, you might be able
to devise a recovery scenario. You can put 3 and 2 on A and B as above
without a UPS. If B fails, you are fine. If A fails, you can go in and
reconfigure the remaining nodes to only consider themselves as the quorum.
This is not a good plan in general because ZK is reliable enough that
people forget about it. That means it won't be top of mind in a disaster
response.
