The v95 version of gbase 8A supports fast replacement of failed nodes through free nodes (omitting the need to find the installation package and check the installation and configuration process). However, free node is only for the scene with VC enabled. For single VC, that is, the mode compatible with V8 version, free node is not supported, so it does not support this node replacement method. The solution is to use a new node.

Error message

install prefix: /opt/gbase/10.0.2.103

Error: replace.py(line 1147) -- single vc mode does not support '--freenode'
[gbase@gbase_rh7_003 gcinstall]$

Reason
the cluster is in single VC mode, compatible with V8, and does not support freenode. Look at the bottom of the gcadmin output. There is really no freenode information.

Solution
adopt the scheme of new machines and replace nodes on the original IP.
