Arguments
Required arguments
[-c|--cluster] context path Cluster to unexpel.
Description
Clears the expelled flag for the specified cluster, allowing it to rejoin the metro node.
Examples
To manually unexpel a cluster, do the following:
1. Use the cluster summary command to verify that the cluster is expelled.
VPlexcli:/> cluster summary
Clusters:
Name Cluster ID TLA Connected Expelled Operational Status
Health State
--------- ---------- -------------- --------- -------- ------------------
------------
cluster-1 1 FNM00190701072 true false ok ok
cluster-2 2 FNM00190701073 true false ok ok
Islands:
Island ID Clusters
--------- --------------------
1 cluster-1, cluster-2
2. Use the ll command in the target cluster’s cluster context to display the cluster’s allow-auto-join attribute setting.
VPlexcli:/> ll /clusters/cluster-1
/clusters/cluster-1:
Attributes:
Name Value
------------------------------ --------------------------------
allow-auto-join true
auto-expel-count 0
auto-expel-period 0
auto-join-delay 0
cluster-id 1
.
.
.
If the cluster’s allow-auto-join attribute is set to true, the cluster automatically rejoins the system. Skip to step 4.
3. Navigate to the target cluster’s cluster context and use the set command to set the cluster’s allow-auto-join flag to
true. For example:
VPlexcli:/ cd clusters/cluster-1
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1> set allow-auto-join true
4. Use the cluster unexpel command to manually unexpel a cluster, allowing the cluster to rejoin metro node. The syntax
for the command is:
For example:
VPlexcli:/clusters> cluster unexpel --cluster cluster-1
