Use this information if your attempt to create a clustered system failed.
The failure is reported regardless of the method that
you used to create a system:
- System initialization wizard (using the technician port of a node
canister)
- USB flash drive
- Management console
- Service assistant
- Service command line
To prevent accidental loss of volumes, a system cannot
be initialized on an enclosure that is already configured in an existing
system. Check the following details using the service assistant to
confirm that the enclosure is not already configured in a system:
- The node canister that you are attempting to create a clustered
system on must be in candidate state.
- The partner node canister in the control enclosure must not be
in active state.
- The latest system ID of the control enclosure must be 0. If the
partner node is in active state, see Start here: Use the management GUI to run fix procedures. If the partner
code is not in the active state and the node canister on which you
are attempting to create the system is in service state, see Procedure: Fixing node errors.
