Messed up Cluster Setup

Day 0:Thats it , development is freezing from today and from tommorrow , IT testing is going to start and on the actual clustered flexPLM system. Everyone, get ready from tommorrow , as we need to do IT testing. The test lead will distribute the test scripts to you guys, All the best.

Day 1:
Tester:  the test server is not up and running since the system admin did some mistakes to install FlexPLM system on a clustered environment.  we have the test scripts, but do not have a system.

Manager: We are talking to the sys admin and the issue will be resolved , he has a back up of all the servers.

Day 2: Tester: Is the system up and running today ?

 Manager: No still, we tried to restore the server on a single server mode , but its not working may be some changes in the property file.

 Day 3 : Still the test system is not up and running.

The point is , is it difficult to switch from server running 1 master and 3 slaves to just one master. I think in a clustered environments , slaves can be turned off at any time  . Slaves are to support the master. All the 4 systems use the same database and can be run standalone, but why is it difficult to restore a cluster.

 First of all , is there a procedure to back up a clustered FlexPLM system ? How do you rehost a clustered FlexPLM system ?
