...

Success Scenarios

...

Scenario 3: Maintenance Mode

• In a multi-node cluster, all hosts are healthy but one host is in maintenance mode. Failback will be able to continue.

Scenario 4: Faulty Host Corrected

In a multi-node cluster, one host is faulty and that faulty host is replaced with a healthy host. Failback will be able to continue.

Scenario 5: Faulty Host Removed

• In a multi-node cluster,

...

• one host is faulty and that faulty host is removed from the cluster (
