When node is evicted with cluster of 3 nodes, after restoring node can't add TieBreaker

[notnooblord]

New resource is marked as Diskless on restored node. I can convert it to Replica, but there is no way to toggle TieBreaker state on diskless node.

Is this possibly bug or am I missing something?

Possibly related to #361

Hello,

This might be a bit unintuitive, but if you want to convert a diskless resource as a tiebreaker, make sure the resource-definition allows for a tiebreaker (check its properties, if nothing prohibits it, it should be fine), and "delete" the diskless resource. LINSTOR will takeover the diskless resource as a tiebreaker.

@ghernadi Thanks! Yeah, that was kinda unintuitive 😅 But worked fine! :)

Basically just did: r d <node> <resource> Controller responded with "The given resource will not be deleted but will be taken over as a linstor managed tiebreaker resource."

But I definitely think there should be command to modify diskless resource.

Here is commands I used In case someone bumps into this:
