Hi Thorsten, thank you for your reply, it is really helpful for me to get into a discussion about this issue.
>> ## node0 booted outside cluster (-x) > Why are you booting the node out of the cluster? I am trying to work out a procedure to restore a failed cluster node on different hardware, in which case I cannot assume that the interconnect will come up as the CLI interfaces might have changed. The examples I gave are from my development environment, but I am working under the assumption that joining the node into the cluster is not possible without first removing it in order to re-add it with a changed CLI configuration. >> root at pub2-node0:~# time metaset -s nfs-dg -P > Why do you want to purge the diskset? Because clnode remove refuses to remove a node which is still configured in SVM sets. >>> - metaset -s <set> -C prune on the dead node will not change anything > > That option should not be used with cluster - since it does things > without informing the cluster software. I am aware of that - I am just exploring options. I am doing all of this in a development environment. >>> - metaset -s <set> -d -f -h <node> on a node still in the cluster >>> will try to reach the "dead" node, which is not possible > Did you try the above on the survinving node, while it is in cluster mode? Correct. Nils
