Unable to start NIFI ( Error creating bean with name 'flowController')

[#1]

My servers was auto reboot yesterday, and I cannot start Nifi. Any suggestion to solve this issue? Thanks

I got the following error:

@Andy Liang

The shutdown of the server without stopping NiFi first has caused corruption in the flowfile repository.

You'll have to remove the files from the flowfile and content repositories and then NiFi will restart.

This solution does not work:
Node 1: ok

node 2
bootstrap.log; Error creating bean with name 'flowController': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to initialize Flow because NiFi was configured to start an Embedded Zookeeper server but failed to do so
2024-07-18 23:15:49,164 ERROR [NiFi logging handler] org.apache.nifi.StdErr Shutting down...

nifi_app_log; Error creating bean with name 'flowController': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to initialize Flow because NiFi was configured to start an Embedded Zookeeper server but failed to do so

In node 3 dice
nifi_app_log dice ERROR [node-2/xxx.xx.x.x:3888] o.a.z.server.quorum.QuorumCnxManager As I'm leaving the listener thread after 3 errors. I won't be able to participate in leader election any longer: xxx.xx.x.x:3888. Use zookeeper.electionPortBindRetry property to increase retry count
bootstrap.log; no error

We went from version 1.11.4 to 1.16.3

I lift the cluster solo once, then restart it and I don't lift it but
