Recover Secondary Node

To recover a secondary node in the cluster

  1. Disconnect the shared disks from the secondary node.

    Note: On most cluster computers, there is no need to shut down the shared disks. This allows the cluster to function during disaster recovery. However, shutting down the cluster service on some cluster computers on the primary node might be required. Check your hardware guide for more information about how to avoid shutting down shared disks.

  2. Follow the usual disaster recovery process to recover the secondary node.
  3. Connect the shared disks to the secondary node when the restoration is complete.
  4. Reboot the secondary node.

Your cluster should now be back online.
