Cannot remove node from a 4 node cluster due to HA enabled
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Issue
- 4 node cluster (nodes 2a,2b,2c,2d) and 2 nodes (2a and 2b) are being removed from the Cluster.
- Node 2b has been removed from the cluster.
- Cannot remove node 2a as there is still a volume on one of the data aggregates.
- Node 2a was marked ineligible to participate in quorum as part of the unjoin process.
- Cannot make the node eligible to participate in quorum.
Cluster::*> cluster modify -node node2a -eligibility true
Error: command failed: Could not change eligibility of specified node: SL_HA_CONFIG_ERROR (code 102)
The requested command isn't allowed under the current cluster HA configuration. Cluster HA configuration is an option for clusters with two eligible members.
This error message can occur when attempting to perform any operation that is not eligible under a HA configuration, such as, assigning epsilon to a node.
