In correlation with the end of life (EOL) for MKE 3.7.x, maintenance of this documentation set was discontinued as of 2025-AUG-29. Click here for the latest MKE 3.x version documentation.
If one of the nodes goes offline during MKE cluster CA rotation, it can prevent
other nodes from finishing the rotation. In this event, to unblock other nodes,
remove the offline node from the cluster by running the docker node
rm --force <node_id> command from any manager node. Thereafter, once the
rotation is done, the node can rejoin the cluster.
If the CA rotation was only partially successful, having left some nodes in an
unhealthy state, you can attempt to remove and rejoin the problematic nodes.
