When adding or decommissioning a member from a Search Head Cluster (SHC), the proper order of operations is:

Delete Splunk Enterprise, if it exists.

Install and initialize the instance.

Join the SHC.

This order of operations ensures that the member has a clean and consistent Splunk installation before joining the SHC. Deleting Splunk Enterprise removes any existing configurations and data from the instance. Installing and initializing the instance sets up the Splunk software and the required roles and settings for the SHC. Joining the SHC adds the instance to the cluster and synchronizes the configurations and apps with the other members. The other order of operations are not correct, because they either skip a step or perform the steps in the wrong order.
