Maximum number of votes that an individual node can encounter. Used as an initial estimate for computing CL_EXPECTED_VOTES. The cluster manager sets this number using the EXPECTED_VOTES system parameter. It is possible for this field to display a number smaller than the EXPECTED_VOTES parameter setting if the REMOVE_NODE option was used to shut down a cluster member or the SET CLUSTER/EXPECTED_VOTES DCL command was used since this node was last rebooted. The dynamic value for EXPECTED_VOTES used clusterwide is the CL_EXPECTED_VOTES field, which is described in the CLUSTER class category.
