Scenario
1: One of the cluster nodes needs rebuilding
If one of the Enterprise
Vault nodes in the cluster fails, the failover node should

rebuild the inoperable node and, assuming an any-to-any
configuration, make it available as the new failover node.

other prerequisite software.
-
Install Enterprise

node to the cluster. Replace the old node with the new node as the
following:
-
Run the Enterprise Vault
Configuration wizard on the new node, selecting the option to add
the node as a failover node for an existing clustered server.
