+ <para>
+ Normally when you shut down a RabbitMQ cluster
+ altogether, the first node you restart should be the
+ last one to go down, since it may have seen things
+ happen that other nodes did not. But sometimes
+ that's not possible: for instance if the entire cluster
+ loses power then all nodes may think they were not the
+ last to shut down.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In such a case you can invoke <command>rabbitmqctl
+ force_boot</command> while the node is down. This will
+ tell the node to unconditionally start next time you ask
+ it to. If any changes happened to the cluster after this
+ node shut down, they will be lost.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If the last node to go down is permanently lost then you
+ should use <command>rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node
+ --offline</command> in preference to this command, as it
+ will ensure that mirrored queues which were mastered on
+ the lost node get promoted.
