Hi Drew, When a cluster has nodes marked unreachable new nodes cannot be marked as up until those nodes are either reachable again or has been downed. This is what the "leader can currently not perform its duties, reachability status ..." message informs you about. As soon as the cluster has reached a state with no unreachable nodes the re-joining node should transition to the Up state.
