A banned node does not participate in the cluster and does not host any records for the clustered TDB\&. Its ip address has been taken over by another node and no services are hosted\&.
.PP
Nodes are automatically banned if they are the cause of too many cluster recoveries\&.
+.PP
+This is primarily a testing command\&. Note that the recovery daemon controls the overall ban state and it may automatically unban nodes at will\&. Meaning that a node that has been banned by the administrator can and ofter are unbanned before the admin specifid timeout triggers\&. If wanting to "drop" a node out from the cluster for mainentance or other reasons, use the "stop" / "continue" commands instad of "ban" / "unban"\&.
.SS "unban"
.PP
This command is used to unban a node that has either been administratively banned using the ban command or has been automatically banned by the recovery daemon\&.
