Recovering from the loss of a host

In the context of this procedure, a failed host is considered to be the permanent loss of a host. For example, a disk crash or other hardware failure has occurred that renders the host unable to be restarted to re-join the grid.

Use this procedure to replace a lost host:

Remove the host from the Grid.
Add the host to the Grid.

Note: Unlike Grid 1.x, Grid 2.x does not have the notion of a primary host. In 2.x you can install one or more hosts and then remove any of them at will. As long as at least one host remains, the Grid will be operational.
