Resolution

1. Create snapshots without memory for all Aria Operations for Logs nodes as per How to take a Snapshot of VMware Aria Operations for Logs
2. Check Cassandra status by running this command:
   
   nodetool-no-pass status
    
3. Force start Cassandra for those Aria operations for logs nodes that show DN status:
   
   /usr/lib/loginsight/application/sbin/li-cassandra.sh --startnow --force
   
   
4. To check Cassandra status, repeat step 2.
   
   
5. If all nodes show Cassandra is in up (UN status), repair Cassandra cluster by running these commands:
    
   nodetool-no-pass flush
nodetool-no-pass repair
   
   
6. Once the repair is complete, stop Cassandra and start Aria Operations for Logs Daemon on each node using the following commands:
   
   /usr/lib/loginsight/application/sbin/li-cassandra.sh --stopnow --force
systemctl start loginsight
   
   
   
7. Note: Only If the Aria Operations for logs instance certificate is expired proceed with this step, otherwise skip to step 8:
   
   For all Aria Operations for logs nodes reset to default certificate by using this command:
   
   /opt/vmware/bin/li-ssl-cert.sh --restore --force
   
   
8. Create new snapshots without memory for all Aria Operations for logs nodes.
   
   
9. Now replace the Aria Operations for logs certificates with the desired certificates via Aria Suite Lifecycle.
