Issue

  • Having performed a cluster unjoin of the second node in a HA pair the cluster was in a unhealthy state along with some stale cluster configuration references to the node which was previously unjoined.
  • Node Cluster-02 is still present in the Cluster Show output even though it was unjoined.

Cluster::*> cluster show
Node                 Health  Eligibility   Epsilon
-------------------- ------- ------------  ------------
Cluster-02          false   false         false
Cluster-03          true    true          true
Cluster-04          true    true          false
Cluster-05          true    true          false
Cluster-06          true    true          false
Cluster-07          true    true          false
Cluster-08          true    true          false
7 entries were displayed

  • A force unjoin also fails to complete:

Cluster::*> cluster unjoin -node Cluster-02 -force true

Warning: This command will forcibly unjoin node "Cluster-02" from the cluster. You must unjoin the failover partner as well. This will permanently remove
         from the cluster any volumes that remain on that node and any logical interfaces with that node as the home-node. Contact support for additional
         guidance.
