You may have tried restarting 'ndbmtd' service on the affected nodes without success, with the following error message:
2021-02-09 11:26:08 [ndbd] ERROR -- Failed to allocate nodeid, error: 'Error: Could not alloc node id at <IP_address> port <port_number>: No free node id found for ndbd(NDB).'
Solution
The SSI is a process that is related to the SPF NDB cluster, and this issue is usually in the NDB Cluster itself. To resolve the issue, please create a support ticket so the support team can perform a rolling restart on the SPF cluster.
<supportagent>Agents only: escalate the ticket to the Professional Services team to request their support on resolving the issue.</supportagent>
Starting '/usr/local/sbin/ndbmtd' may have also failed.
