Description:

I'm missing a option to re-join a faulty MySQL instance into a HA-group.

Scenario:
1) My Primary dies due to power outage 
2) New Primary is elected from secondaries
3) After some time I power up my 'old' primary and would like to have it joining my HA-group

I would liked to use command: mysqlfabric server set_status <UUID of old primary> SECONDARY

but this failed with output: ServerError: Cannot put server (UUID) whose status is (FAULTY) in (SECONDARY) status.

Having to do a group remove/add seem unnecessary?

Kind Regards,
ted

How to repeat:

1) kill primary server in group
2) start up old primary
3) try to have it join HA group without remove/add

Thank you for a reasonable feature request. Verified as described.

Currently, it is necessary to remove the server from the group and add it again, but it is reasonable to allow set_status to be used to bring the server in as a secondary again without having to remove it first.
