Updates:

1. Remove bad ncs node from the cluster and clean up the cluster (/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -init)

2. Install new OES 2023 server with ncs pattern (with different name and IP)

3. Full update OES 2023 - Linux host 5.14.21-150400.24.100-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Dec 4 19:12:13 UTC 2023 (3f5cd84) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

4. add existing shared disk to the new server

5. add node via yast2 to existing nsc cluster and restart the server

It was firewall :( 

firewalld service blocked my new ncs node from to join to the cluster ...

still have same errors on the startup, but i guess its the cosmetic problem.

This has been the worst update in years. I really wonder what testing was even done. When it works it works great. When it goes wrong it goes really wrong. I still have a couple that went really wrong. I refuse to pay support to resolve at this point. Tired of the hassles to open cases for bugs.
