Remove and reattach an appliance
If a two-appliance cluster has a failed appliance, you can use the svc_cluster_management script to detach the appliance and reattach it when the problem is resolved.
Steps
-
Run the following command to view the status of the appliances in the cluster:
svc_cluster_management status
svc_cluster_management status ---CLUSTER STATUS--- local is master: False master id: 0 ---APPLIANCE LIST--- id: 2 name: appliance_j8xxmd2 ip address: fd73:51fc:80d:0:201:4471:dcbb:4bce online: False id: 1 name: appliance_j8y1nd2 ip address: fd73:51fc:80d:0:201:4432:1df9:41da online: True -
Detach the failed appliance:
svc_cluster_management detach
svc_cluster_management detach detach failed appliance success! -
Prepare to attach the appliance back to the cluster:
svc_cluster_management prep_attach
svc_cluster_management prep_attach prep reattach appliance success -
Attach the appliance back to the cluster:
svc_cluster_management attach
svc_cluster_management attach reattach appliance success
