  • ONTAP 9
  • Node Join

Issue

  • Node join attempts fail during cluster expansion.
  • Error message during join:
System checks. Error: RPC failed to get joining node time and timezone from cluster at  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. 
Resolve the issue, then try the command again.
  • No corroborating errors: no relevant NTP error, no EMS event, and no SYSTEM_MESSAGES timezone AppError will accompany this condition, since none of those mechanisms cover it
