Understand how Flexera Ocean responds to a deleted ENI
When an ENI is deleted, the stateful node tries to create a new ENI. If it can’t recreate an ENI using the specific free IP associated with the node, you’ll see an error message that the ENI doesn’t exist. The node then rolls back to a paused state.

Check if the IP address is already in use
If another resource in your AWS environment is using the IP address reserved for the stateful node, creation of the new ENI fails.
As a result, the stateful node rolls back. This behavior protects the node’s state and prevents an inconsistent configuration.

Review the details in the Flexera console
Go to Elastigroup > Stateful nodes, then select the affected node.

• In the node details, you’ll see a message explaining why the rollback happened.

• On the Log tab, you’ll find entries showing the failed ENI operation and additional context.

Determine the next steps
Use the messages and logs to identify whether:

• The IP is in use

• The ENI was manually deleted

• The node requires a new IP allocation

Adjust your AWS IP usage or reconfigure the stateful node as needed.
