Hi, I’m trying to make cluster env.  
On azure, I create 3 VM with CentOS7.3 and install Percona XtraDB Cluster.

After I made them with no problem, I remove data dir(/var/lib/mysql) at all nodes and re-make.  
1st(with bootstrap) and 2nd nodes are start normally, 3rd node could not start.

Please let me know what I do.

- diff between my.cnf are node address and node name.

Regarads,
