Converting a protected cluster node to a protected machine

In Rapid Recovery, you can convert a protected cluster node to a protected machine so that it is still managed by

the Core, but it is no longer part of the cluster. This is helpful, for example, if you need to remove the cluster node

from the cluster but still keep it protected.

1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, navigate to the cluster that contains the machine you wish to convert,

and then click Protected Nodes.

2. On the Protected Nodes page, from the specific node you want to convert, click the Actions drop-down

menu and select Convert to Agent.

3. To add the machine back to the cluster, select the machine, and then on the Summary page, from the

Actions menu, select Convert to Cluster Node, and then click Yes to confirm the action.
