Alexander Murmann commented on GEODE-8739:
------------------------------------------
{quote}The task is to see if there is an appropriate place to document the fact
that if an operator shuts down a whole cluster and leaves storage for .dat
files intact, that they should delete those .dat files before restarting the
cluster.
{quote}
[~burcham] Has this happened? This seems like a rather serious problem if an
operator isn't aware of it that might result in many user headaches.

> The hypothesis: "if there is a locator view .dat file with several
> non-existent servers then then locators will waste all of their join attempts
> on the servers instead of finding each other"
> Scenario is a test/user attempts to recreate a cluster with existing .dat and
> persistent files. The locators are spun in parallel and from the analysis,
> it looks like they are able to communicate with each other, but then end up
> forming their own ds.
