Explanation

This question maps directly to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology. The steps are: (1) Identify the problem, (2) Establish a theory of probable cause, (3) Test the theory, (4) Establish a plan of action, (5) Implement the solution, (6) Verify full functionality, (7) Document. The administrator has already completed steps 1 and 2. The NEXT step is step 3 - test the theory - which is best done by analyzing logs to confirm whether the IP change affected the cluster member. Escalating (A) and creating a plan of action (D) come after the theory is confirmed. Changing the IP back (B) would be implementing a solution before the theory is tested.
