Red Hat build of MicroShift

Get the node ID of a stopped node

When the MicroShift service is inactive, you can prevent the use of standard API commands by retrieving the node ID from the file system. You can use this ID to identify offline nodes for disaster recovery, verify backup compatibility, and troubleshoot issues.

Procedure

Get the ID of a stopped node by retrieving it from the cluster-id file by entering the following command:
```
$ sudo cat /var/lib/microshift/cluster-id
```
Example output
