Percona Cluster Iniialization

When trying to initialize the MySQL Percona Cluster, I get the following error (this is prior to attempting to bootstrap the first node):

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql --datadir=/db01/mysql01/data --basedir=/usr/local/mysql

Can someone please help?
Thanks

Hi @jimbo881 , welcome to the Percona forums!

Please check whether there are already files in the /db01/mysql01/data directory. Please ensure this directory is empty before executing the bootstrap operation.

I played around with it some more and finally got everything in the proper place. We use the tarball for installs and some libraries needed to be moved around along with some other missing stuff. But it is up and running now…

Thanks for the response!
Jim
