Scenario: we have a 4-node cluster. We are temporarily adding 2 additional nodes, migrating content, and decommissioning 2 nodes.
The System Admin Guide says the following about removing a node:
------------------------------
If the node you want to remove is the current master node, reboot the node by using the system node reboot command to enable another node in the cluster to be elected as the master node. The master node is the node that holds processes such as mgmt, vldb, vifmgr, bcomd, and crs.
------------------------------
Node 2 is the master nodeand is one of the nodes I'm removing. Of course I don't want to reboot and have node 1 take over since it's also being removed. Should I remove node 1, reboot node 2, then remove node 2? Why does it recommend rebooting rather than failover / giveback? Any insights will be appreciated!
