Restart Avamar node in unhealthy grid

Hi everyone,

We have an old Avamar grid (Gen4) with some issues and I wonder how/if it is still possible to fix them.
Situation:
1 node offline
1 node with defect SSD

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-nl/000044454/avamar-server-procedure-for-restarting-one-offline-node-in-a-multi-node-rain-grid?lang=en

The offline node had power issue's and a failed disk. I replaced those parts and got the node running again. However I'm unable to get it running within Avamar services. For restarting the services I followed this KB:
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-nl/000044454/avamar-server-procedure-for-restarting-one-offline-node-in-a-multi-node-rain-grid?lang=en

Now the problem is, when I run following command it will do a "check.dpn --prestart" which will fail on the failed SSD in the other node:
cd && restart.dpn --nodes=0.n | tee -a restart_`date -I`.txt

Question: Is it possible to bypass this check and just add the healthy node to the Grid?

Greetings,
Dries
