Hi, I installed percona XtraDB.  
It works properly. I followed these guides:  
[url][Configuring Nodes for Write-Set Replication - Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/configure.html#configure%5B/url%5D)  
[url][https://www.percona.com/files/presentations/WEBINAR-percona-xtradb-cluster-installation-and-setup.pdf[/url]](https://www.percona.com/files/presentations/WEBINAR-percona-xtradb-cluster-installation-and-setup.pdf%5B/url%5D)  
The first node is configured correctly.  
Now I just can not figure out how to add new nodes? The guide is not clear for whos not skilled.

This is my /my.cnf  
wsrep\_provider=/usr/lib/libgalera\_smm.so wsrep\_cluster\_name=pxc-cluster wsrep\_cluster\_address=gcomm://192.168.70.61,192.168.70.62,192.168.70.63 wsrep\_node\_name=pxc1 wsrep\_node\_address=192.168.70.61 wsrep\_sst\_method=xtrabackup-v2 wsrep\_sst\_auth=sstuser:passw0rd pxc\_strict\_mode=ENFORCING binlog\_format=ROW default\_storage\_engine=InnoDB innodb\_autoinc\_lock\_mode=2 Where i have to add this:  
wsrep\_node\_name=pxc2 wsrep\_node\_address=192.168.70.62 wsrep\_node\_name=pxc3 wsrep\_node\_address=192.168.70.63 Thank you for help

If you bootstrapped your first node properly, meaning the Galera provided is up and node status is Primary, all you need to do is to just start the other nodes. If the configuration and firewall rules are OK, new nodes should join the first one via SST.
