    Hi Henry,

    to resolve this, you need to delete the stored cluster id up front.

    In the Service Assistant GUI, select Configure Enclosure -> Reset System Data

    Alternatively, this can be done using CLI as well:

    • ssh into the node's service IP address (as seen in you browser's address bar)
    • enter command "satask chenclosurevpd -resetclusterid"

    Hi Henry

    Do you need the data in the storage?

    • If yes, try with Recover System option, it can bring the system up.
    • If no, you can go with Re-install Machine Code.

    But I am not sure if both of these procedures work when another node in the system is offline.
