Instructions

To restore the Cloudlink cluster node after a node has been removed, the supported action is to deploy a new CloudLink node and then join it to the existing cluster via the UI.

Steps to Add a Replacement Node to the Cluster

  1. Download the deployment package that matches the version of the existing CloudLink environment.
  2. Deploy a new CloudLink node using the same domain server name or IP address format used in the existing environment.
  3. In the CloudLink UI, select the option to add a new node and join it to the current cluster.
  4. After joining, verify cluster synchronization status from the UI to ensure the node is fully integrated.
  5. Refer to the latest CloudLink Administration Guide for detailed procedures on adding a node to an existing cluster. Support for CloudLink | Manuals & Documents | Dell US
