Hi Ulrich, and thanks for your reply. In this case, the missing node has been wiped and formatted. Reason wasn't an actual fault, but rather the need to change storage configuration (we had to comply with a security requirement that involved adding cryptography at rest of cluster volumes). I intended to use this activity also as a test bed to learn what was the correct procedure to follow in case of a node loss, so that I could be already sure on how to proceed in an emergency. These servers are not under backup: they are meant to work as edge servers, collecting data and shipping them up towards main production servers. We have a golden image that allows us to reinstall them quickly, but the installation procedure is based on the assumption that both nodes are installed together: at the moment I haven't a procedure to reinstall just one of the nodes, and that's what I'd like to create.
I hope that this can clarify your doubts, best regards Fabrizio Il giorno lun 12 mag 2025 alle ore 08:41 Windl, Ulrich <u.wi...@ukr.de> ha scritto: > Maybe explain what “failed node” and “rebuild” actually means: > > It was fenced, or was it reinstalled, or did you have a fatal disk failure? > > Usually a backup is your best friend. > > > > Kind regards, > > Ulrich Windl > > > > *From:* Users <users-boun...@clusterlabs.org> *On Behalf Of *Fabrizio > Ermini > *Sent:* Friday, May 9, 2025 4:26 PM > *To:* users@clusterlabs.org > *Subject:* [EXT] [ClusterLabs] Rebuild of failed node > > > > Hi all!
