Issue

The issue can be reproduced in the following way:
1. Create config backup file:
::> set -privilege advanced
::*> system configuration backup create -node node2 -backup-name xxxxx.7z -backup-type cluster
2. Disable e0e port from both node2 and node1.
3. Disable both cluster HA and failover:
::*> cluster ha modify -configured false
::*> storage failover modify -node node1 -enabled false
4. Halt node1:
::*> system node halt -node node1 -reason "recovering cluster" -skip-lif-migration-before-shutdown
5. Recreate cluster from backup:
::*> configuration recovery cluster recreate -from backup -backup xxxxx.7z
::*> system configuration recovery cluster show
6. The e0e port still keeps a down status on node2 which means the config backup file fails to restore the nic port's state
