RECOMMISSION NODE (Recommission a decommissioned application or system client node)

Use this command to recommission an application or system client node that was decommissioned by using the DECOMMISSION NODE command.

The RECOMMISSION NODE command resets the status of a node that was previously decommissioned from the production environment. After a decommissioned node is recommissioned, the decommissioned state and decommission timestamp for the node are reset, and the node is unlocked.

Review the following considerations:
  • After the RECOMMISSION NODE command runs, client node data can be backed up to the server.
  • Any backup data that was deactivated during the DECOMMISSION NODE operation will not be reactivated after the node is recommissioned. If active backup data is required, you must run an on-demand backup operation or schedule a backup operation to repopulate the active versions of the data.
  • When a node is recommissioned, client files are retained on the server according to your storage management policies.
  • A node that is recommissioned by using the RECOMMISSION NODE command can subsequently be decommissioned by using the DECOMMISSION NODE command.
  • After you recommission a client node, you can verify that the client node is no longer decommissioned by issuing the following command:
    query filespace format=detailed
