After I delete some storage processes, the cluster is unavailable.  
Our cluster redundancy mode is 3dc. There are 6 machines in each DC, 4 ssd in each machine, and 4 processes in each ssd.  
The current cluster status is：

```auto
 fdbcli
Using cluster file `/etc/foundationdb/fdb.cluster'.

The database is unavailable; type `status' for more information.

Welcome to the fdbcli. For help, type `help'.

View the roles of processes in the cluster and find that there is no commit\_proxy and grv\_proxy .

I need your help. Thank you very much!
