This problem is similar to #2916, in which the admin unlock-in/unlock SU are initiated before cluster startup finishes. The difference is that, after the cluster startup finishes, the node completes to join the cluster, the Opensaf SUs are assigned, AMF walks through all SGs in avd_sg_app_node_su_inst_func() to pick up the uninstantiated SU to start instantiation. In this case, because the SU is instantiated, so AMF skips this SU avd_sg_app_node_su_inst_func().
Some outlined logs,
