In vRealize Automation (vRA) 7.0 and 7.0.1 environments use vIdentity Manager (vIDM) for authorization and authentication. Part of that application is a service called elastic search, that is embedded on each appliance. This issue occurs because of the retry period for elastic search, which results in services to fail to start and delays the boot process when one node is down. This results in the boot time for a single node to extend to 30 minutes or more and may cause other vRA services to fail because they time out before they can continue.
