<a name="migrate-topic-add-conductor"></a>

Add the secondary node back to the cluster, and then to the redundancy group.

To avoid errors when you're adding the secondary Conductor back to the cluster, wait approximately three minutes after the upgrade before performing these steps. This wait ensures that the elemental\$1se service has restarted and is running.
