  • The node is reports cluster health: false

cluster::> cluster show
Node Health Eligibility
--------------------- ------- ------------
cluster-NodeA false true
cluster-NodeB true true

Warning: Cluster HA is not working correctly. Make sure that both nodes are healthy by using the "cluster show" command; then reconfigure
cluster HA to correct the configuration. Check the output of "cluster ha show" following the reconfiguration to verify node
health. If reconfiguring cluster HA does not resolve the issue, contact technical support for assistance.
