Recover the Primary Node

To recover a failed primary node and ensure that the cluster is working properly

1. Disconnect the shared disks from the primary 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 primary node.
3. Connect the shared disks when the restoration is complete.
4. Reboot the primary node.

Your cluster should now be back online.
