Description
Adding Nodes via UI
"A warning will appear indicating that the operation is destructive on the destination server. Any data currently stored on the server will be deleted, and if the server is currently part of another cluster, it will be removed and marked as failed over in that cluster."
Above sentence mentions that a node which is already a part of other cluster can be added into a cluster, but when I tried that operation, I got following error message. It seems we can't add a node which is already a part of other cluster when the other cluster consists of more than or equal to two nodes:
"Attention - Prepare join failed. Node is already part of cluster."
However, if the target cluster is made from only the target node, then I was able to add the node into the cluster.
