Problem after cluster unjoin Job failed: This operation deletes all failover targets from the failover group that is in use by a lif
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Cluster Unjoin
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 theCluster Show
output even though it was unjoined.
Cluster::*> cluster show

- 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.
