NSX-T Manager Node Recovery

In the NSX-T environment, there were scenarios where it's required to bring down the manager node instances off from the cluster due to several abnormal reasons. Scenarios like if there were some issues during the upgrade of the manager node instance or having any abnormal circumstances where is node unable to recover from NSX-T Manager UI.  To recover/replace the node from the manager cluster its require to attempt with the manual process . Let's discuss the manual path to recover/Replace a Manager Node in the Cluster. 1) Login to NSX-T manager using CLI 2) Use command ' get cluster status ' This command will list all the NSX-T manager/controllers nodes into the cluster. Find the UUID of the existing node and Cluster to identify the node which requires recover/replace. 3) Now that we have identifying the manager node ID from the above command, its time to detect the node from the cluster.  Using detach node command "node id" will remove the node from the clus
