You cannot initialize or create a system on a node canister that has a location error.

#### Explanation

A location error indicates that the node canister or the enclosure midplane has been moved or changed.

Location errors can be caused by a service action either not being completed, or not being implemented correctly. After a node canister has been used, that node canister should not be moved to a different location, either within the same enclosure or to a different enclosure, because this might compromise either the node canister’s access to storage, or a host application's access to volumes.

#### User response

Ensure that you are attempting to initialize or create a system on the correct node canister. Fix all location errors on the node canister, and retry the operation. Do not move a node canister from its original location, unless directed to do so by a service action. See Problem: Cannot initialize or create a system for assistance.
