# operator step-down
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `operator step-down` forces the Vault server at the given address to step
|
|
|
|
|
down from active duty. While the affected node will have a delay before
|
|
|
|
|
attempting to acquire the leader lock again, if no other Vault nodes acquire the
|
|
|
|
|
lock beforehand, it is possible for the same node to re-acquire the lock and
|
|
|
|
|
become active again.
