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. However, sometimes
+ 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>
- In such a case you can use <command>rabbitmqctl
+ 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 lost then you should use
- <command>rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node
+ 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.
