Issue

  • During the initial setup of a new two-node cluster, cluster configuration was not completed on the first node.
  • After reinstalling and reinitializing the first node, the attempt to join the existing cluster failed.
  • Node remained in a standalone state and only displayed a management interface on port e0M.
  • Cluster setup wizard was exited before all cluster configuration tasks were finished.
  • Subsequent configuration attempts resulted in inconsistent cluster information between both nodes.
