After you restart an instance, the corresponding node status in the console may temporarily display as Unknown. This is caused by a status refresh delay and does not indicate an operation failure. Wait a moment and then refresh the page to confirm that the instance returns to the Running state. If the node status does not recover for an extended period, record the cluster ID so that you can verify the actual node status (such as Ready) for further troubleshooting.
