When the NetApp HCI installation process installs Witness Nodes, a virtual machine
template is stored in VMware vCenter that you can use to redeploy a Witness Node in case it
is accidentally removed, lost, or corrupted. You can also use the template to redeploy a
Witness Node if you need to replace a failed compute node that was hosting the Witness
Node. For instructions, see the Redeploy Witness Nodes for two and three-node storage
clusters section here.
