After you replaced and deleted the failed NSX Edge node, to return the NSX Edge cluster to its original state, you redeploy the failed node, add it to the NSX Edge cluster, and delete then temporary NSX Edge node.

Procedure
Redeploy the Failed NSX Edge Node You deploy a new NSX Edge node by using the configurations of the failed NSX Edge node that you retrieved during the preparation for the restore.
Replace the Temporary NSX Edge Node with the Redeployed NSX Edge Node After deploying the new NSX Edge node with the same configuration as the failed NSX Edge node, you replace the temporary NSX Edge node with the redeployed failed node in the NSX- Edge cluster.
Delete the Temporary NSX Edge Node After replacing the temporary NSX Edge node with the new NSX Edge node in the NSX Edge cluster, you delete the temporary node.
Update or Recreate the VM Anti-Affinity Rule for the NSX Edge Cluster Nodes During the NSX Edge deployment process, SDDC Manager creates a VM anti-affinity rule to prevent the nodes of the NSX Edge cluster from running on the same ESXi host. If you redeployed the two NSX Edge cluster nodes, you must recreate this rule. If you redeployed one node of the cluster, you must add the new VM to the existing rule.
Validate the State of the NSX Edge Cluster Nodes After replacing the temporary NSX Edge node with the redeployed failed NSX Edge node, you must verify the state of the NSX Edge cluster nodes.
