It super easy for sure, if you know it. New to the Quorum business. Quorum and Metamask are on the same box, no need to enable CORS: How to connect Quorum with Metamask?

EDIT: Not sure if that matters but I did geth --datadir new-node-2 init genesis.json using the default geth not quorum geth. See this issue not sure if that matters.

Answer 1

I believe you need to have cors enabled for Metamask, even though it's a local node. I suggest enabling cors and trying it.

Note that you must use quorum geth for the init. If you use upstream geth then you will run into issues when attempting to use quorum.
