Which action must be taken to solve the problem of unable to join new nodes to the BES-53248 cluster?

• A. Install the license file.
• B. Restart the cluster services
• C. Reconnect interconnect cables
• D. Update firmware to latest version

Answer: (A)

Licensing governs how many nodes can participate in a BES-53248 cluster. If you attempt to add a new node without a license that covers additional nodes, the cluster blocks the join. Installing the license file grants the necessary entitlement, enabling the new node to join and be managed as part of the cluster. Reconnecting interconnect cables or restarting services would address connectivity or service-state issues, but they don’t unlock the ability to add nodes when the licensing limit isn’t satisfied. Updating firmware may fix other problems, but it doesn’t grant permission to join more nodes without the appropriate license.
