This is my first attempt at creating a percona cluster although been using percona server for years.
I have followed this guide which has mostly worked.
[url][http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.5/howtos/3nodesec2.html[/url]](http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.5/howtos/3nodesec2.html%5B/url%5D)
Just spotted that this guide was for 5.5 while I am on 5.6 but guess they should be compatible.
Bootstrapping the first node seems to have worked fine, however trying to start the second node and it just stalls.
The results from error.log on the 2nd node are below.
Nothing relevant in syslog and nothing showing in the primary nodes logs.
Any ideas on whats going on?

The error says this node could not reach any primary component, so either the bootstrapped node was not OK or something is blocking communication.

Hi, I am a naive user and for the first time implementing Percona XtraDB cluster. Both the nodes do not get bootstraped. I am getting the following error. Could anyone point me to rectify this problem and make it work?
/etc/init.d/mysql bootstrap-pxc
[…] Bootstrapping Percona XtraDB Cluster database server: mysqld .[…] The

failed!
Both the nodes have same problem
