Hello! We upgraded percona-xtradb-cluster-server from 5.7 to 8 version and after upgrade pt-online-schema-change started returning “Error in server handshake at /usr/bin/pt-online-schema-change line 2345” error.
The run command looks like this:
/usr/bin/pt-online-schema-change --alter "MODIFY reason ENUM (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ) NULL DEFAULT NULL, ADD INDEX reason (reason)" - u root --alter-foreign-keys-method=drop_swap --no-check-unique-key-change --critical-load Threads_running=600 --recursion-method=none D="mydb",t="mytable" --dry-run
Please help fix this problem.

Please ensure that you have also upgraded your Perl libraries and have upgraded all associated Perl/MySQL libraries. 5.7 uses older libraries while 8.0 uses newer ones. 5.7 cannot communicate with 8.0

It was not installed, but installing libperconaserverclient21-dev did not affect the situation in any way.
now installed:
libperconaserverclient21:amd64 1:8.0.22-13-1.stretch

You probably need the -compat package/library as well
