Return the node to operation
To return the node to operation, perform the following steps:
Procedure
1. Power on the node, or if rebooting, wait for the node to start booting.
The OS will boot up for Linux operating systems. For Linux nodes, all VxFlex OS
processes will start up automatically.
2. For an ESXi node, perform the following:
a. From the vSphere Web Client, ensure that the node is displayed as on and
connected in both Hosts and Clusters view.
b. Right-click the node and select Exit Maintenance Mode.
c. Expand the server and select the Storage VM (SVM). If the SVM does not
power on automatically, power it on manually.
3. After the node is up, perform the following checks in the VxFlex OS GUI:
a. In the Monitor > Alerts view, make sure that no SDS disconnect message
appears.
b. If the node was an MDM cluster member, in the Dashboard Management
tile, verify that the cluster is no longer degraded.
c. In the Frontend tab > SDCs view, check the SDC to which the node IP is
assigned, and make sure that it is connected.
4. In the VxFlex OS GUI Backend view, in By SDSs table view, right-click the SDS
and select Exit Maintenance Mode.
5. In the Action window, click OK.
6. Wait for the rebuild/rebalance operations to finish.
The node is now operational and application I/O can be started on the node. For
ESXi nodes, you can migrate VMs to the node.
