Appliances that have been unjoined from a SPP cluster or restored from a backup are placed in a Read-only mode.
You can activate an appliance in Read-only mode so you can add, delete, and modify data, apply access request workflow, and so on.
The appliance in Read-only mode must be online in order to use the Activate task. If it is offline or the cluster does not have consensus (that is, the majority of the remaining members are offline/unable to communicate), you must use the Cluster Reset option to rebuild your cluster. For more information, see Resetting a cluster that has lost consensus.

CAUTION: Activating an appliance that is in Read-Only mode will take it out of the Read-only state and enable password and SSH key check and change for managed accounts. Ensure that no other SPP Appliance is actively monitoring these accounts, otherwise access to managed accounts could be lost. |
