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.
