Hi

We have 3 instance cluster out of that, two of the nodes somehow go their data corrupted. One of the node still have all the data in good state. But now when I start the ES cluster it shows red and not able to start. Is there a way to manually start the node with just one working node?

Thanks

Depends, do you have minimum masters set?
