    Description

      Please add documentation showing the data loss warning message that pop up when trying to hard failover a node that contains the only copies of some vBuckets. Screenshot attached.

      A good place for this is on this page at step 4 of "Hard Failover with the UI" just after this sentance

      To continue with hard failover, confirm your choice by left-clicking on the Failover Node button.
      

      My proposed addition is the following, using the first screenshot attached to this ticket.

      If the node contains vBuckets that do not have replicas on other nodes, an additional warning will be present warning of data loss. In this case, before proceeding with the failover, check the Confirm failover checkbox.

      Please do this for the documentation on all versions, from 7.0 to 7.6

      Quick asides:

      The image after "Select hard failover by selecting the Hard radio button:" has a different IP than the rest. Can we replace it with the seconds attached image that has the same IP?

      Can we change the two mentions of "101.142.181.102" to "10.142.181.102" so they match the screenshots?
