Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Microsoft Azure: Node repair is not supported for single-node cluster on Azure 2402 release.

For a single node cluster, when the node fails user needs to follow Dell SolVe procedure -> Field Replacement Procedures -> Replacing a cluster node -> Repair a node on a single-node cluster steps to NIM the node (do not wipe capacity drives) then re-deploy the cluster.

But if the node is running on Azure 2402 release, the cluster re-deploy will fail.


Login to the node and view the log file CloudDeployment.xxx under C:\CloudDeployment\Logs, it reports ECE failed at: Test-AzStackHciExternalActiveDirectory.

ECE failed at: Test-AzStackHciExternalActiveDirectory,
