You say "no", but that is exactly what I just observed. Can I have some more explanation?
To recap: I added a server to my cluster. It had some junk in the system/LocationInfo files from previous, unsuccessful attempts to add the server to the cluster. (They were unsuccessful because I hadn't opened the port on that computer.) When I finally succeeded in adding the 2nd server, the 1st server started returning null when I tried to get data using the CLI. I stopped the 2nd server, deleted the files in system, restarted, and everything worked. I'm afraid that this, or some similar scenario will do the same, after I go live. How can I protect myself?
