Restore a Specific Node in a Cluster

If a specific node in a cluster is down, you can perform a BMR for only that node. Typically, in this scenario the shared disk is in a good state and does not need a recovery.

Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the BMR image (CD / DVD or USB stick).
2. Remove all the connections between the node that you want to recover and the shared disks.

   Example: Disconnect the fibre channel connection.

3. Perform a BMR for the cluster node.

   Note: For more information on performing a bare metal recovery, see How to Perform a BMR Using a Backup.

   The specific node in a cluster is recovered.

4. Check the status of the recovered node in the cluster management console and ensure that it acts as part of the cluster.
