Also, it meant that if you added a new node to the cluster it wouldn't verify that the migration network was online on the new node when it brought it into the cluster.

My Convoy S12 UV light stopped working. I contacted Simon and he sent me a new driver. I had some issues opening the metal ring that holds the driver because I don't have the right tool. Soldering was tricky because of the short wires and I didn't take into account how it should be placed. But it works again. I'm happy.
