When forming a virtual storage on a new cluster, the previous data on Node-C should not be automatically available. The formation of a virtual storage typically involves creating a new storage pool and configuring the desired settings, which may include data replication or migration.

If you would like to access the previous data on Node-C, you will need to import or mount the existing storage devices or volumes on the new cluster. This process may vary depending on the specific storage solution or cluster management software you are using.

I recommend consulting the documentation or contacting the support team for your specific storage solution or cluster management software for detailed instructions on how to import or mount existing storage devices or volumes on the new cluster. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information based on your setup.

I'm sorry to hear that Node-C was broken. If the data on Node-C was not replicated or backed up elsewhere, it is likely that the data on Node-C is lost when it is removed from Cluster-A. In a typical cluster configuration, when a node fails or is removed from the cluster, the cluster management software redistributes the data across the remaining nodes to ensure high availability and data redundancy.

However, if you had a backup of the data on Node-C prior to its failure, you may be able to restore the data onto a new node within Cluster-A or onto a different cluster. It is always recommended to regularly back up important data to mitigate the risk of such loss.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with data recovery, I recommend reaching out to your IT department or contacting the support team for your specific storage solution or cluster management software. They will be able to provide you with guidance and options specific to your setup.

When forming a new virtual storage in a new cluster, it depends on the specific configuration and settings you choose. If you are setting up a brand new virtual storage in a new cluster, it typically starts with an empty or clean slate. This means that any existing data from the previous cluster or storage configuration will not be automatically carried over to the new cluster.

However, it's important to note that this can vary depending on the technology or software you are using for virtual storage and cluster management. Some solutions may offer migration or replication features that allow you to transfer data from an old cluster to a new one. If you have such capabilities available, you may be able to retain or migrate the data from the previous cluster to the new virtual storage.

To ensure accuracy and best practices in your specific scenario, I recommend consulting the documentation or contacting the support team for the virtual storage or cluster management solution you are working with. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information and guidance based on your specific setup and requirements.
