Thanks for reaching out, @tegerei.

[This guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/restart-cluster.html) might be a good starting point. This older [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/shards-unassigned-after-node-restarts-reason-node-left/67489) may be helpful too.

Best,  
Jessica
